In addition to Privacera's default encryption schemes, you can also create your own custom encryption schemes.

Prerequisites:

Before you create a custom encryption scheme, prepare the following details:

  • A useful name for the encryption scheme

  • A description of the encryption scheme

  • The names of the tags that you want to encrypt

To create custom encryption schemes in the Privacera Portal, follow these steps:

    • Name: the name of the scheme, such as US_PHONE_3rdParty

    • Encryption API: PRIVACERA (default) or BOUNCY_CASTLE

    • Format type: the encryption format type, such as FPE_ALPHA_NUMERIC, alphanumeric

    • Scope: all

    • Value: the value of the scheme

    • Algorithm: the encryption algorithm: FPE, Hash, Token, Mask, Standard 256, SHA_256, SHA_512

    The encryption scheme is created.
