Bold BI provides a feature to decrypt encrypted data in SQL Server by adding additional connection parameters. This article will guide you through the process of decrypting data in Bold BI.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding with the decryption process, ensure that you have db_datareader permissions for the database.
Steps to Decrypt Data in Bold BI
Follow the steps below to decrypt data in Bold BI:
Open the SQL Server connectivity page in Bold BI.
Enter your SQL Server credentials.
3. Add the “Column Encryption Setting=enabled;” property in the Additional connection parameters text box.
4. Click on ‘Connect’. This will open the query designer page. 5. Drag and drop the table containing the encrypted data and update the preview grid.
6. The encrypted data will now be displayed as decrypted.
Please note that if you add the “Column Encryption Setting=disabled;” property or if the enable property is not added in the Additional connection parameters text box, the data will not be decrypted.
In a query window, open the symmetric key and decrypt using the certificate. We need to use the same symmetric key and certificate name that we created earlier. ...
Use the SELECT statement and decrypt encrypted data using the DecryptByKey() function.
Right-click on the encrypted file or folder and select “Properties.” In the “Properties” window, navigate to the “General” tab. Locate the “Encrypt contents to secure data” option. Uncheck this option to initiate the decryption process.
Decrypting data without a key can be technically tricky and may require specialized knowledge and skills in cryptography and cryptanalysis. It can also be computationally costly and time-consuming, especially for longer keys or complex encryption algorithms like RC4.
The search operation on SQL Server database may initiate a full table scan which results in slow search process. To avoid full table scan in SQL Server database, the user can bypass the trigger and view architecture and go directly to the encrypted table.
Data encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the private key. Because of this use of two keys instead of one, public key cryptography is also known as asymmetric cryptography. It is widely used, especially for TLS/SSL, which makes HTTPS possible.
Use the SQL Server Management Studio to remove the protection provided by Always Encrypted column encryption. Right-click on the required database. Select Tasks -> Encrypt Columns… to open the Always Encrypted wizard. On the Column Selection page change the Encryption type to Plaintext for the columns to decrypt.
NO, md5 data can not be decrypted. No, MD5 is a HASH algorithm so, it is not possible to decrypt. To test if some value is correct, you compare the MD5(value) to stored MD5, but it is impossible to extract the original value from MD5.
