Using Field Encryption

Related Content

• Create cryptographic module for Field Encryption

  Create a Field Encryption cryptographic module to define the mechanisms used for cryptographic operations.

• Using multiple encryption modules

  Multiple encryption modules enable data to be encrypted with more than one encryption module. If each module has its own access policy based on a role, for example, users with different roles can encrypt data on the same table but they can still be prevented from viewing each others encrypted data.

• Create a cryptographic specification for Field Encryption

  After you create a cryptographic module, access the corresponding cryptographic specification to define the algorithm.

• Configure advanced algorithms for Field Encryption Enterprise

  Create a cryptographic specification to define the algorithm for a cryptographic module. Customize the encryption specifications with advanced options that are available for Field Encryption Enterprise.

• Configure properties for customer-supplied keys

  If the Field Encryption Enterprise plugin is enabled, you can use system properties to define key padding, ephemeral key pair size, and a key validity period of your customer-supplied keys.

• Encrypting fields and attachments

  After you create your cryptographic modules, create encrypted field configurations and specify whether to encrypt a field on a table or encrypt attachments.

• Field Encryption Enterprise examples

  These examples walk you through the encryption of fields and attachments using customer-supplied keys.
