Troubleshooting Decrypt Failures

The encryption and decryption features include a data integrity check. This ensures that the data is correct when its decrypted. If the integrity check fails, this message will be thrown by the decrypter:

Unsupported state or unable to authenticate data.

This can mean either:

• The data is corrupt

• Trying to decrypt the wrong data – i.e. wrong file path given, etc.

• The data was encrypted with a different encryption key than the one being used for decrypt

• Attempting to decrypt credentials files created by an older version of Profound.js. Version 7 and later cannot read credentials files produced by earlier versions. These files need to be regenerated. See Migrating to Profound.js 7 From Earlier Versions
