Format-transforming encryption

ID: format-transforming-encryption

Format-Transforming Encryption (FTE) is a method of encryption that not only encrypts data but also transforms its format. This process enables encrypted data to adhere to a predefined structure or format that conceals the original data while allowing it to be processed in a way that is compatible with systems expecting data in a specific format, such as JSON, XML, or other structured outputs.
