Automatic Field Encryption in eCatalog


Securing Data at the Database Level with Seamless Encryption:

Automatic Field Encryption is a vital feature within eCatalog that ensures the security and confidentiality of stored data by encrypting it directly at application level. This feature allows for the automatic encryption of specified fields, enhancing data protection without requiring manual intervention from users or developers. Whenever system perform CRUD operation, system will auto-encrypt data based on the defined rule.


Key Features of Automatic Field Encryption:


  • Rule-Based Encryption
    Configurable Encryption Rules: Administrators have the flexibility to define encryption rules specifying which data fields should be encrypted. This can include sensitive information such as personal identifiers, financial details, or any other data deemed confidential.
  • Seamless Integration
    The encryption process is seamlessly integrated into data handling workflows, ensuring that data is encrypted and decrypted transparently during database operations. This approach maintains usability while securing data.
  • Encryption Standards:
    • Strong Encryption Algorithms: eCatalog utilizes robust encryption standards, such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), to secure data. These algorithms are widely recognized for their strength and effectiveness in protecting data.
  • Data Integrity and Accessibility:
    • No Impact on Data Integrity: Automatic encryption does not alter the usability or integrity of the data. Users can interact with and utilize the data as if it were unencrypted, ensuring functionality is not compromised.
  • Controlled Access
    Encryption keys are managed securely, with access strictly controlled. This ensures that only authorized users and systems can decrypt and access the sensitive encrypted data.


Benefits of Automatic Field Encryption:


  • Enhanced Data Security: Automatically encrypting sensitive fields significantly reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure, even in the event of system penetration.
  • Compliance with Regulations: Many industries are subject to regulations requiring the protection of sensitive data. Automatic field encryption helps organizations comply with these regulations, avoiding potential fines and legal issues.
  • Transparent Operation: The encryption process is transparent to end-users, ensuring that system performance and user experience remain unaffected. This allows organizations to maintain operational efficiency while securing their data.


Configuring Automatic Field Encryption:


  • Easy Configuration
    Administrators can set up and manage field encryption rules through the eCatalog’s administrative dashboard. This interface allows for the specification of which fields are encrypted and the management of encryption keys.
  • Audit and Review
    Regular audits and reviews of encryption policies and practices are recommended to ensure they remain effective and aligned with organizational security requirements and compliance obligations.
