Encryption FieldType

Allows for the encryption on storage and decryption on render of channel field data.

The Encryption FieldType enhances your site’s security by ensuring that sensitive field content is encrypted at rest and only unveiled to specific users. This provides strong protection against unauthorized access—even if someone could access raw database entries.
