In MySQL Encryption or Compression Function, we will discuss the AES_DECRYPT Function, AES_ENCRYPT Function, CRC32 Function, ENCRYPT Function, FROM_BASE64 Function, MD5 Function, OLD_PASSWORD Function, PASSWORD Function.
AES_DECRYPT Function:- AES_DECRYPT Function is used for decrypting an encrypted string. It uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) Algorithm. It returns the original string. In case of invalid data. It returns NULL.
Syntax:- AES_DECRYPT(encrypt_str, key_str)
Example:- SELECT AES_DECRYPT(AES_ENCRYPT(‘xyz456’, ‘key_string’), ‘key_string’);
Output:- xyz456
AES_ENCRYPT Function:- AES_ENCRYPT Function is used for encrypting the string using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) Algorithm.
Syntax:- AES_ENCRYPT(str, key_str)
Example:- SELECT AES_ENCRYPT(‘xyz456’, ‘key_string’);
Output:- 0xcf742d7a140d469154ecc36fac4b1aaf
CRC32 Function:- CRC32 Function is used to compute a cyclic redundancy check value and return a 32-bit unassigned value. In case of NULL, it returns NULL.
Syntax:- CRC32(exp)
Example:- SELECT CRC32(“kshtutor”);
Output:- 2392954192
ENCRYPT Function:- ENCRYPT Function is used for encrypting strings using a UNIX crypt() system call. In the case of the window system, It will return NULL.
Syntax:- ENCRYPT(str, salt)
Example:-
SELECT ENCRYPT(‘kshtutor’, ‘decode’);
FROM_BASE64 Function:- FROM_BASE64 Function is used to decode base64 string.
Syntax:- FROM_BASE64(str)
Example:- SELECT FROM_BASE64(‘F2Q0’)
Output:- 0x176434
MD5 Function:- MD5 Function is used to calculate 128-bit MD5 checksum string. It returns 32-bit hexadecimal digits.
Syntax:- MD5(string)
Example:- SELECT MD5(‘kshtutor’)
Output:- 02fb107e31fe5a92b249ab4944ca0299
OLD_PASSWORD Function:- OLD_PASSWORD Function is used for the authentication system to generate hashed passwords from a plain text password string. It returns a 16-byte format binary string.
Syntax:- OLD_PASSWORD(str)
Example:- SELECT OLD_PASSWORD(‘ksh’);
PASSWORD Function:- The PASSWORD Function is used for returning binary strings from plain text passwords. It uses a hashing technique for generating a password. In case of NULL, It returns a NULL value.
Syntax:- PASSWORD(str)
Example:- SELECT PASSWORD(‘ksh’);
Output:- FD0602804190D276DBFFF18ED39204C1E3E53BED
