When enabled Application Data Encryption, Is it possible to disable BLOB Encryption enabled on a specific class?
When enabled Application Data Encryption with Platform Cipher, Is it possible to disable BLOB Encryption enabled on a specific class? If it is possible, will the pzPVStream column decrypted automatically?

Here's how you can configure encryption settings for a property:
-
Open the class rule for the class you're interested in (Rule-Obj-Class instance).
-
Navigate to the "Properties" tab.
-
Select the property for which you want to modify the encryption settings.
-
In the property rule form, go to the "Security" tab.
-
Modify the "Storage" settings, including the "Encrypt BLOB" option. You can choose to enable or disable BLOB Encryption for the specific property.
Do bear in mind please keep the platform cipher handy prior to expiry or else nothing can be decrypted without that.
Regarding the automatic decryption of the pzPVStream column, if you disable BLOB Encryption for a specific property, the platform should automatically handle the decryption of the data when it is retrieved. Pega manages the encryption and decryption transparently to the application, so you generally don't need to handle the decryption manually.
Hope this helps.
