Hello Folks:
I have few question on database field level encryption and decryption.
Those of you who were using (or currently using) progress 9.x version, did you have a scenario where you store sensitive information (say SSN) value as encrypted in database but should be available for viewing (ie the original value not the encrypted one) to certain end users through the application. how did you achieve this? afaik, progress 9.x version has encoding function which is 'one-way' ie we cannot decode to get the original value for viewing. Did you use any custom encrypt/decrypt logic? or any 3rd party tool?
Appreciate if somebody can share their experience on this.
we currently use 9.1E , but going to get upgraded to OE 10.2B in 2-3 months.
I read that it offers encrypt and decrypt options.
Thanks,
Raghu
