I am looking for a way to encrypt certain fields in the customer master data. Would I need to use the SAP Crypto Library for this?

Which field?

For standard SAP programs, you can take a look into "SSF" (Secure Store and Forward) for confidential fields.

But you cannot use this mechanism for custom programs (you will find the discussions about this in the same threads when searching for "SSF".

Cheers,

Julius

The short answer to your question is "YES". However, this won't help much. You'll also need to use SSF (as Julius pointed oput already) and a working PKI including key management (not so easy as well).

Do you need to store credit card numbers? If yes, please also have a look at the PCI DSS documents....
