Data is residing in DB but is it possible to show encrypted data in UI instead of actual value?

The purpose of encryption is to make something meaningless to everyone who is not authorized. That being the case, you may want to consider simply not displaying it, or have some kind of meaningless place holder.
It is possible the a!encryptedTextField, might be what you are looking for, too.
encryptedtextFiled can be used to encrypt while saving into DB. But here what i am looking for if any data is being processed then if it can be encrypted at Appian level whether UI or process report etc.
You can use this plugin: community.appian.com/.../encryption-functions
Do you know how can I tell if a string is encrypted or not? For example, if I encrypt a text and want to display the actual value, I need to decrypt it. But if the text was not encrypted before and I use the decrypt function, it will throw an error. So we need: if encrypted, then use decrypt function else just display the value. How can we do this?
I don't think there is a way , Can you tell us where you are getting this data from??
This is data the user enters such as social security number, name, address, etc.
Either creating a custom plugin or if those are user entered values it's better to save it some where (Boolean value whether it's a encrypted text or not )
