Mendix recommends as a best practise to encrypt sensitive information. However, this makes using the data a way harder because you have to manually encrypt and decrypt the attribute through microflows.
It would be really helpful to be able to configure an attribute with a flag 'Encrypt' yes/no.
The Mendix Runtime would handle the encryption at storing the data and decryption while retrieving the data.
Thanks for the explanation Andrej!
All database data files are encrypted at rest by default in Mendix, see evaluation guide. This means that you can only read the data if you can connect with valid credentials to the database, but just having access to the data files would not allow you to see the data.
It sounds like this is what you’re looking for, or is there something else you expect from encryption at rest?
