Decrypting Account Numbers

If the need arises, account numbers can be decrypted on the Manage Encryption and Masking Page.

Specify Decrypt as the action for the source record you want to decrypt. The available values are controlled based on the Action value for the source record. Here are the examples for Payroll for North America:

  • DIR_DEP_DISTRIB options:

    For the Decrypt action, the Process Record Mask value can be Do not Unmask or Unmask.

  • GARN_SPEC and SRC_BANK option:

    For the Decrypt action, the Process Record Mask value is None (default and display only).

Suppose that the DIR_DEP_DISTRIB source record is decrypted, after the process completes, the run control status is Decrypted and the action is None (default).

Note:

When you run the decryption process on a source record, the process decrypts the encrypted data for all entries in that source record, even though the data selection for the encryption of the source record was country-specific.
