I want to upgrade my logic with your valuable help , what is the usefulness of the encryption which I performed on the particular column.?
The data is now encrypted at rest. This is very important for security. If somebody gains access or is somehow able to select * from your table, the results are gibberish for those columns.
Now other users who works with me, also have the access to this same server instance, I just want them to see the table with enrcypted data in one column(Which I have encrypted). how I can achive this.?
If you want others to not be able to view the decrypted information the easiest way by is to not give them the key. 😉 They can select the column all they want but it is indecipherable without the key. Is that what you are asking?
