https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/data/17396/query-on-encrypted-data-fieldHi there, If a field of CDT is declared as EncryptedText, is it possible to perform query with that field (unencrypted text) as a filtering condition?en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.appian.com/thread/68505?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 31 Jul 2019 14:50:15 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:a45d216c-c82c-4db5-8038-25ca8181b23eChristineLHutchison<p>To add on... keep in mind if you are running a query and there is an error, the data will possibly show in the log (defeating purpose of encryption), under certain circumstances. So, I would press you to think through all the places and ways the data could be exposed (unintentionally).</p> <p>Hope that gives you something to think about.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/68503?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 31 Jul 2019 13:55:45 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:f194bbe6-e5de-46d5-9b55-ae7c2e434673Steven Miccile<p>The value is encrypted in the database and <span>is only decrypted when displayed as the value in an EncryptedTextField or within a plug-in using the&nbsp;</span><code class="highlighter-rouge">EncryptionService</code><span>&nbsp;public API. Therefore, this does not seem possible from queryEntity, nor would you want&nbsp;to allow this functionality from a security perspective if the data is sensitive since people could go fishing for values.</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
