Decrypt Data

On the Decrypt page, users can perform an ad hoc decryption of encrypted data. For instance, when reviewing data in SQL, a user may need to know the value of one of the encrypted columns. The user could paste the encrypted value into this page to view the decrypted value.

The Decrypt page can also be used to test the decryption process to ensure it is working and set up correctly.

To perform ad hoc decryption:

  1. Select Admin > Configuration > Encryption > Decrypt in the Navigation pane.
  2. Paste the encrypted data into the ENCRYPTED DATA field.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Click Show.
  5. The decrypted data displays as a notification.
