12 Encryption Feature Type

One of the major features of Oracle Utilities Application Framework applications is the ability to mask and encrypt data to protect sensitive information. This encryption is implemented in a Feature Configuration using the Encrypted Feature Type.

The Oracle Utilities Application Framework supports Feature Configuration which store specific configuration settings for features in the product to be implemented. Feature Configurations allow simple configurations to be implemented for specific features.

Feature Configurations can be maintained using the Feature Configurationmenu option on the Administrationmenu.

For the Encryption feature, one Feature Configuration should exist for the Encryption Feature Type with an option per field to encrypt.

Note:

If the product does not ship a Feature Configuration for Encryption, then it can be created as a Customer Modification. Prefix the name of the Feature Name with CM.
