Overview
In this tutorial, you can learn how to use automatic Client-Side Field Level Encryption (CSFLE) and a MongoDB driver to encrypt a document.
The tutorial includes the following sections:
Set Up Your Project: Set up your project files and assign required variables.
Configure Encryption: Create an encryption key and configure your application for Client-Side Field Level Encryption.
Perform Encrypted Operations: Insert and query encrypted documents.
Important
Do Not Use this Application In Production
Since this example application stores an encryption key on your application's filesystem, you risk unauthorized access to the key or loss of the key to decrypt your data.
To view a tutorial that demonstrates how to create a production-ready CSFLE-enabled application, see CSFLE Tutorials.
