Encryption & Decryption

To implement strong standards to our integration system, encryption is used to secure transactional data from unauthorized access. With this required encryption process, only authorized parties can decipher a ciphertext back to plaintext and access the original information. Based on that standard, for external access and transaction, Tokopedia is combining two different encryption algorithms to cover each other’s weaknesses thus creating a strong standard for our integration system. The algorithms used are RSA and AES, the encryption process and flow can be seen in the diagram below.
