Encryption field and named credentials
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like33 views
Encryption in Salesforce discusses symmetric encryption, which uses the same key for encryption and decryption, and asymmetric encryption, which uses different public and private keys. It describes Salesforce Classic Encryption, which masks custom fields, and Salesforce Shield Platform Protection, which provides stronger 256-bit encryption of standard and custom fields but requires controlling visibility with field level security since it does not mask data. Shield Platform Protection has an additional cost but offers broader functionality while Classic Encryption can only encrypt custom fields up to 16 characters and requires profile configuration.

- 3. Encryption Encryption is a process that encodes a message or file so that it can be only be read by certain people. EX “Trailhead” would look like “Xvemplieh”.
- 4. Types of Encryption 1. Symmetric Encryption 2. Asymmetric Encryption
- 5. Symmetric Encryption In a symmetric encryption algorithm, both the sender and the recipient use the same key (known as the secret key) to encrypt and decrypt the message. Example: Rotation Cipher Clear Text : V I S H E S H Key : 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Encrypted Text : U H R G D R G Secret Key : In cryptography, a key is a piece of information that determines the functional output of a cryptographic algorithm.
- 6. Asymmetric Encryption In an asymmetric encryption algorithm, the sender and recipient use different keys to encrypt and decrypt a message. Each participant in the cryptosystem has a pair of keys assigned to him: a public key and a private key. Famous Algorithm : RSA Algorithm.
- 7. Classic Encryption Salesforce Classic Encryption protects data from your existing Salesforce users by providing masking capabilities, which allow you to hide the original data with random characters. Here custom fields with 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). are encrypted. Example : Credit Card Field Value : 1219-0118-2021-1992 Masked Value: ****-****-****-1992
- 8. Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages ● Is included in Base License cost of Salesforce. ● Provides masking of custom fields to protect against internal Salesforce users seeing specific data. ● Is excellent for masking sensitive data, such as credit card or SSN fields. Disadvantages ● Can only encrypt custom fields. ● Limits custom field encryption to 16 characters (Tested). ● Needs profiles and permission sets to be configured for Salesforce users. ● Cannot be used in workflows or formula fields.
- 9. Shield Platform Protection Salesforce Shield Platform Encryption protects Salesforce data at rest using either a generated or an uploaded encryption key. Shield Platform Encryption provides the additional option of Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), allowing customers to manage their own encryption keys. Shield Platform Encryption is an additional feature that provides 256-bit encryption with a broader range of core Salesforce functionality, including search, lookups, validation rules, and Chatter. No masking is applied to Shield encrypted fields, so visibility needs to be controlled with field-level security.
- 10. Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages ● The ability to encrypt standard fields, custom fields, files, and attachments. ● Can be used in workflows and formula fields. ● Offers a higher level of encryption (256-bit AES) than Salesforce Classic Encryption. Disadvantages ● There is an additional cost. ● Does not provide masking, so Field Level Security (FLS) needs to be set to control visibility of fields. ● Does not work with certain third-party apps.
