  • Hello Jussi!! Can we get any another version of this plugin which will accept AES encryption Key as simple text as input instead of passing external system key which is stored at secured credential store?

    For security reasons it is not recommended to store or handle encryption keys as plain text. If you wish to implement something like unique keys, I would recommend extending the plugin to query the KMS of your choice and use the key strictly within the plugin. The source code comes with the plugin, so you can extend the plugin fairly easily to meet your exact use case.
