CryptoAES private key from Play Framework

Question

I searched for some cryptographic functions in playframework, and in the documentation for encryptAES they say: "Encrypt the string with the AES encryption standard using the application secret."

Ok, the function looks like this, but where can I find this secret key?

Function Code Function:

public static java.lang.String encryptAES(java.lang.String value) Encrypt a String with the AES encryption standard using the application secret 

thanks

Answer 1

It is placed in the conf/application.conf file

In both games 1.x and Play 2.x its name is application.secret

You can also use your own key using the method:

 public static java.lang.String encryptAES(java.lang.String value, java.lang.String privateKey)
