IMPORTANT: If the key is lost the data is lost - there is no way fP or anyone else can recover the data. fP therefore disclaims any responsibility for loss of data that results from use of the encryption routines.
Caution: Be careful when integrating encryption for stored data fields with edits and for fields that you have a need to scan for values or using indexes.
Carefully think through the process of encrypting your data before applying encryption to your stored data fields since you can destroy your data or at least make it difficult to properly access your data.
Don't apply edits other than "*" to stored data fields you encrypt.
Avoid encrypting fields you need to build indexes on.
Always make a backup before applying encryption.
