Data Encryption Workflow
Encrypt sensitive data with AES, manage encryption keys securely, and verify with HMAC.
Quando usar esta receita
Protect sensitive data at rest — user PII, payment information, health records. AES-256-GCM provides authenticated encryption, and HMAC adds an additional integrity layer.

Perguntas frequentes
Why use AES-GCM instead of AES-CBC?
GCM provides authenticated encryption — it detects if the ciphertext was tampered with. CBC requires a separate MAC (like HMAC) for integrity, making GCM simpler and more secure.
How should I store encryption keys?
Never store keys alongside encrypted data. Use a key management service (KMS) like AWS KMS, HashiCorp Vault, or environment variables for development.
