How are Encrypted Fields stored in the database?
Hi,
I understand that depending on "View Encrypted Data" Profile permission, users can view masked/unmasked Encrypted field data.
However, what is stored in the database? Is it encrypted version/decrypted version of data? What result will come once you query for the field?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Vimal
Encrypted fields are stored using AES 123 encryption in the database.
