Encrypt a file with AES-256

Default PBKDF2_SHA256 is OpenSSL-compatible (openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2). Other KDFs use authenticated AES-GCM with a KESTRAENC file format.

yaml
type: io.kestra.plugin.compress.FileEncrypt
yaml
id: file_encrypt
namespace: company.team

inputs:
  - id: file
    type: FILE

tasks:
  - id: encrypt
    type: io.kestra.plugin.compress.FileEncrypt
    from: "{{ inputs.file }}"
    password: "{{ secret('ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD') }}"

Encrypt with Argon2id (memory-hard, GPU-resistant)

yaml
id: file_encrypt_argon2id
namespace: company.team

inputs:
  - id: file
    type: FILE

tasks:
  - id: encrypt
    type: io.kestra.plugin.compress.FileEncrypt
    from: "{{ inputs.file }}"
    password: "{{ secret('ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD') }}"
    keyDerivation: ARGON2ID
    argon2TimeCost: 3
    memory: 65536
    parallelism: 1

Encrypt with Scrypt

yaml
id: file_encrypt_scrypt
namespace: company.team

inputs:
  - id: file
    type: FILE

tasks:
  - id: encrypt
    type: io.kestra.plugin.compress.FileEncrypt
    from: "{{ inputs.file }}"
    password: "{{ secret('ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD') }}"
    keyDerivation: SCRYPT
    memory: 65536
    parallelism: 1

Default3

Argon2id time cost

Number of passes over the memory buffer for Argon2id. RFC 9106 recommends 2-4. Default 3. Used only when keyDerivation is ARGON2ID; ignored otherwise.

Default600000

PBKDF2 iteration count

PBKDF2 number of hashing rounds (min 100000, default 600000). Used only by PBKDF2_SHA256 and PBKDF2_SHA512. Ignored for Argon2id (use argon2TimeCost), Scrypt (uses memory only), and when decrypting KESTRAENC files (read from the file header).

DefaultPBKDF2_SHA256
Possible Values
PBKDF2_SHA256PBKDF2_SHA512ARGON2IDSCRYPT

Key derivation function

PBKDF2_SHA256 (default): OpenSSL-compatible, no integrity check. PBKDF2_SHA512, ARGON2ID, SCRYPT: authenticated (AES-GCM).

Default65536

Memory cost

Argon2id: memory in KB. Scrypt: N (power of 2). Ignored for PBKDF2.

Default1

Parallelism

Argon2id threads or Scrypt p. Ignored for PBKDF2.
