Encrypting Fields

Database columns used to store selected field values can be encrypted. The Application Processing Module only supports database level encryption for protection-at-rest and SSL (HTTPS) for protection-in-transit.

Data in the selected columns is encrypted just before it is stored in the database. It is decrypted on being retrieved from the database for return to the module.

Note: Administrators also have the ability to mask fields in the Application Processing Module UI (for example, the Identification number field on the Create Application page). Fields in reports can also be masked because the reports are built with the FICO Application Studio Designer tool. For search, queue, and other items where you can configure the table columns that are shown, it is recommended that you do not include sensitive information in those tables as masking is not supported for them.
