Interactive Field Encryption Explorer

See field-level encryption in action! Use the interactive explorer below to step through 6 stages of data transformation. Watch as sensitive fields like credit card numbers, SSNs, and PII are progressively encrypted while preserving analytics utility.

How to Use This Explorer​

  1. Navigate using arrow keys (← →) or click the numbered stage buttons
  2. Compare the Input (left) and Output (right) JSON at each stage
  3. Observe how sensitive fields are encrypted (red strikethrough) or preserved (green highlight)
  4. Inspect the YAML code showing exactly what mapping processor was added
  5. Learn from the stage description explaining the encryption technique and compliance benefit
