platform-encryption-configure
A Salesforce skill for setting up Shield Platform Encryption.
What the skill teaches
A Salesforce skill for setting up Shield Platform Encryption. The agent generates deployable encryption settings and field metadata that marks fields as encrypted with a deterministic or probabilistic scheme, and covers Cache-Only Keys, External Key Management, replay detection and key settings. It also answers questions about key models, tenant secrets, bring-your-own-key and key rotation. A bundled shell script validates the generated encryption metadata. It does not cover Classic Encryption text fields or plain custom fields without encryption, which other skills handle.
Capabilities
- Generate Platform Encryption settings metadata
- Mark fields as encrypted with a chosen scheme
- Configure Cache-Only Keys or External Key Management
- Validate encryption metadata with a bundled script
- Explain key models and rotation
