By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and a meticulous approach, AvenDATA ensures that businesses can archive their legacy systems with confidence.

ViewBox provides the functionality of Data Encryption. The data encryption feature hides the data present in the database from the end-user.
  • From the options menu, click “Data Encryption” option to select Data Encryption.
The main dashboard of the Data Encryption module appears. The dashboard consists of few columns like Profile Name, Selected System Name, Creator of the Job, Date and time of creation, Status and the Action column.
  • To encrypt the data, click the “Create Job” button available at the top right of the dashboard table.
  • Now, select a profile.​
You can also create a new profile or use/modify an existing profile.
  • Create New Profile, selecting this option redirects you to the Profile Selection page. Here, you need to enter a profile name and select a system from the system selection dropdown.
  • Use Existing Profile, selecting this option takes you to the existing profile page. It contains a dropdown with the previously created profiles. You can select an existing profile from the dashboard.
After selecting the profile, you are redirected to the Type Selection page to select views, tables, or document archive data to be encrypted.
Depending upon the selection on the Type Selection page, you are redirected to the View Selection, Table Selection or Document Archive Selection page, respectively.
NOTE: Only a single selection is allowed for all the views, tables, and document archives.

Once you have selected the required views/tables/document archive, you are redirected to the Column selection page.
  • You can select or remove any number of columns from the column selection twin table.
When you click the Next button after the column selection, a popup is shown, informing you that the columns on the right of the column selection twin table will be encrypted. It also prompts you that the columns towards the left of the column selection twin table that are already encrypted will be decrypted.
  • Clicking the Cancel button hides the popup, and you can make changes to the selection followed by clicking the OK button.

Now the encryption process starts and redirects to the Data Encryption dashboard.

If the encryption process is running, the status is shown as “Running”, if the encryption process is complete, then the status is updated as “Finished”.

Also, a Decrypt button appears in the action column, next to the respective profile.

You will see the Decrypt button only after the status is changed to “Finished”.
  • You can also decrypt the encrypted data by clicking the Decrypt button. The Decrypt button displays a confirmation popup.
  • Clicking Cancel hides the popup and displays the Data Encryption Dashboard.
  • Clicking the OK button initiates the decryption process and redirects to the data encryption dashboard.
If the process is long, then the status is updated as “Decrypting”. Once decrypting is complete, the selected profile is removed from the encryption dashboard.
