Summary

This blog post explores the use of Evervault's Inbound Relay, an invisible encryption proxy, to secure sensitive data in a web application by encrypting data fields before they reach server infrastructure. Using Node.js and a MongoDB Atlas database, the demonstration walks through building a CRUD application that collects user data through an HTML form, encrypts it with Inbound Relay, and stores the encrypted data in MongoDB. The process involves setting up a local server with Express, creating a form to collect data, establishing a database connection, and integrating Evervault's API for encryption. Additionally, the tutorial demonstrates how to decrypt and read data using Evervault's SDK and outlines the use of Ngrok for local tunneling and domain provisioning. The guide emphasizes the importance of encryption to protect against unauthorized access to plaintext data and offers a hands-on approach to implementing field-level encryption in web applications.
