🔏 Encryption & Decryption of Data in Collection Fields

What's this Feature All About?

With this feature you can encrypt and decrypt your data stored in Drapcode collection and displayed on the UI in decrypted form depending on the use case.

Benefits:

Provide confidentiality by transforming plaintext data into an unreadable format that can only be decrypted with a specific key. This makes it difficult for unauthorised persons to access the data.
Authenticate the source of data by using digital keys. This ensures that the data has come from a trusted source and has not been modified during transmission.
