Encryption Masking

Encryption masking applies encryption algorithms to mask source data. You can choose the algorithm to encrypt the data. Mask string datatypes with encryption masking.
Select from the following encryption algorithms:
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard with 128-bit encoding.
CRC
Cyclic Redundancy Check. Finds data transmission errors or verifies that data is not modified. Computes a checksum.
MD5
MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm. One-way cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value.
To configure encryption masking, enter an encryption key that is 16 characters or less.
