AES256 Encryption

Current Functionality:

The application currently supports basic encryption functionality, which has now been made available as a plugin within the application.

Enhancement:

The application's latest update now includes AES256 encryption as a default feature. This robust encryption capability is provided as a plugin within the application, allowing for seamless encryption of sensitive information required by the business. Users can encrypt and securely store data in files or databases, with the option to decrypt as needed.

To ensure maximum security, encryption keys are not made available to the application or its users locally. Instead, the application connects to a Key Vault Service for key management. This integration enables the application to securely access encryption keys from the Key Vault Service at runtime. When processing data, the application uses these keys to perform encryption and decryption operations in memory, thereby increasing data security throughout the process.

The use of AES256 encryption ensures 100% secure processing from input to output, utilizing cutting-edge encryption methodologies. By integrating with a Key Vault Service, the application's security is enhanced by securely managing encryption keys, thereby improving overall data protection and security standard compliance.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Data Security: Integration of AES256 encryption ensures robust data security, offering end-to-end encryption from input to output. This level of encryption significantly enhances data protection against unauthorized access or breaches.

• Up-to-Date Encryption Standards: The application uses AES256 encryption, which adheres to modern industry standards. This approach ensures that sensitive data is encrypted using cutting-edge encryption techniques, providing an increased level of security.

• Compliance and Assurance: Implementing AES256 encryption and Key Vault enhances compliance with data security regulations and industry standards. This ensures that sensitive information is protected in accordance with best practices, providing confidence to stakeholders and users alike.
