Programming / Encryption of data
« on: February 03, 2021, 02:30:12 PM »
The new feature to encrypt file passwords and data using AES256 is a great enhancement.   

Our customers are beginning to demand that more and more data is considered PII sensitive.

Couple of questions on how others are managing -

Key management :  how best to change and manage keys for annual change -- assume password remove and then apply new.   any experience on huge files out there?

Implementation:   Advice on best practice for managing the "open" statements on current files -- a global variable seems way to insecure,  modifying each to include the KEY, again visible password or global,  build a control file to house key(s) for open statement - again plain text.

Performance:  implications of encrypting most data?

No recovery of file possible through utilities?
