Selecting the Table Fields to Encrypt

Identify and determine the sensitive fields within the database that require encrypted storage, define the encryption scope, and apply encryption exclusively to privacy-sensitive data such as ID cards and mobile phone numbers – thereby reducing system resource consumption and enabling precise management of sensitive data risks. These data items constitute the target for existing historical data encryption tasks; subsequently, when integrating plugins (Application-Plugin) or deploying proxies (Proxy), all such sensitive data will be encrypted or decrypted.

Procedure

  1. Click the Project Management menu item on the left to access the Project Management List page, as shown in Figure 1.

  2. Select the item to encrypt from the right-side item list; hover the mouse over the item and click Enter, as shown in Figure 2.

  3. After clicking Enter in the previous step, the Project Homepage page will be displayed, as shown in Figure 3.
