Administrators can encrypt data fields to prevent unauthorized users from accessing sensitive information, such as credit card or social security numbers. Aptify encrypts field data using Microsoft's Cryptographic Services (see "Encryption Implementation" on page 338 for more information).
An administrator enables encryption on a per-field basis within a specific entity.
See the Credit Card Number Encryption section of the "Order Entry Administration" chapter of the Aptify Order Entry Guide for information on how credit card numbers are encrypted in Aptify by default.
