Encryption Type: Uses AES-256 bit encryption, which is industry-standard (often referred to as “bank-grade”).
Encryption Method: Primarily utilizes OpenSSL (required for version 3.0+).
Decryption: Data is decrypted “on-the-fly” only for authorized users when viewing entries in the WordPress dashboard.
Security Modes: Includes an optional Strict Async mode, which requires an additional password to decrypt and view data, providing a second layer of defense even if a WordPress admin account is compromised.
The plugin allows you to selectively encrypt specific fields rather than the entire form. Supported fields include:
Standard: Single Line Text, Paragraph, Dropdown, Number, Checkboxes, Radio Buttons.
Advanced: Name, Date, Time, Phone, Address, Website, Email.
Specialty: File Uploads (encrypts both the actual file on the server and the metadata), List fields, and Multi-Select.
Granular Access Control: Role-based permissions determine who can view, search, or edit encrypted data.
Bulk Encryption/Decryption: You can encrypt existing entry data retrospectively or decrypt it if you decide to remove the plugin.
Merge Tag Security: By default, encrypted fields are masked in {all_fields} merge tags to prevent sensitive data from being sent via unencrypted emails.
Searchability: Limited search functionality is available for encrypted fields (typically requires “Exact Match” depending on the settings).
