    Hi Amol,

     

    There is nothing like that out of the box. You can create your own encryption method by using a pre-callout, but there is no way to decrypt the data in something like a pre-read callout. If it is just about one field, then you can think about handling this requirement in a custom webpage and load this page in a small iframe in the entity form.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Ronald

    Hi Amol,

    As Ronald mentioned, you cannot encrypt the data on the application level, but you can do it on the database level using SQL server 2008 enterprise version.

    Basically - SQL 2008 enterprise version supports encryption of the data in the tables automatically, no change in the application is required. Downside, of course, is the price.
