How does it work

[cforce]

Can anyone who is able to edit a wiki page cyper and decyper the content?
Why shall the be secure, cause the "admin" of the server also have acess to the secret key.
Where is the secret?

[luis100]

The secret is on the instance configuration, therefore the "admin" of the server would have access to all.

The purpose of this plugin is to keep data secure when it goes outside of your control, specifically on the backups. For example, one may use 3rd-party services to provide backup services on your redmine data. This may give access to your top-secret/sensitive data to 3rd-party services, which is a problem in terms of information security (ISO 27001).

Also, this plugin provides an extra step to view the top-secret data on the interface, again trying to minimize the access to the information by bystanders.
