Hi Denis,

who will be the owner of the private key, and why does syncope needs to know 
that the value inside a field is encrypted?

If syncope does not have a key to decrypt the value, then syncope does not even 
need to know that this field is encrypted is simply a BASE64 encoded String 
(for example).

So from my point of view the only usecase that actually would make sense for 
such a schema attribute, is if syncope knows the private key (properly 
generated that key) and the goal is to store encrypted values in a remote 
system. But why storing information in a remote system, if that system should 
not be able to read this information?

So at this point I can't see a real usecase that would actually benefit from 
such an attribute. Can you provide an example please.

Best regards
Jan
