SKalidhasan Encryption - Attachments & Fields
Does Salesforce support encryption of attachments (does it automatically encrypt attachments), if not could it be implemented? If so how?
Does Salesforce supports Encryption of Types other than Text, I need to encrypt a Number/Currency Field?
Salesforce supports only 128 bit encryption (Text (Encrypted) Type), could 256 bit encryption be enforced?
Does Salesforce Support Database Encryption (encrypting the entire DB)?
Normaly attachements are not encrypted. You can do this yourselfe with VisualForce and APEX but is reuqires a lot of development work. Alternatively, the salesforce.com Data Residancy Option provides this capability. See http://www.salesforce.com/dro/
Thank you very much, It helps address all the concerns....
.... Is it currently available? Where can I find more details ....
Yes, DRO is currently available. Simply contact your local Salesforce rep for mor information.
It is VERY costly option.. but I dont heard any custom solution implementation using crypto class was successful. did anyone did that?
Cipher Cloud is another option but it is similar to DRO.
For some ref, but it is not for attachments
