Encryption Functions

Overview

Allows for the encryption and decryption of text data using symmetric AES encryption. This plug-in uses standard Java cryptography functions to expose expression functions for the encryption and decryption of data using AES.

Key Features & Functionality

Functions:

encryptvalue(): Encrypt plain text data using an AES encryption key stored in the Secure Credentials Store
decryptvalue(): Decrypt encrypted text data using an AES encryption key stored in the Secure Credentials Store

Features:

Supports up to 256-bit AES keys when JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy is enabled
Backwards compatible with older versions of Java lacking support for >128-bit encryption keys

I know the description above states that this plug-in supports encryption/decryption of plain text data but is there any reason why it would not work on other data types? In particular I'm thinking of date fields, e.g. used for Date Of Birth (I assume the encrypted value would have to be stored as text anyway). Or would you need to convert the date field to text before passing it to the encryptvalue() function?
