Encrypt Sensitive Data

Category: Security  ·  Sub-category: cloud-security  ·  Last updated:
Encrypts sensitive data at rest, in transit, and per-field using AEAD-only ciphers (AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 — never ECB, never unauthenticated CBC, never raw RSA) — envelope encryption where a KMS-held KEK wraps a per-record/per-tenant DEK, per-column field encryption for PII with deterministic-vs-randomized chosen per query need, strict unique-nonce/IV discipline (random 96-bit or counter, NEVER reused under one key), AAD binding ciphertext to its context (tenant/row id), versioned keys + rotation that re-wraps DEKs without re-encrypting data, TLS 1.2+/1.3 with mTLS and modern cipher suites, and — critically — passwords are HASHED with argon2id/bcrypt, NOT encrypted. Distinct from secrets-management (stores the app secrets/keys this skill consumes) and map-privacy-data-gdpr (the legal PII/erasure obligations encryption helps satisfy).

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Encrypt Sensitive Data skill?
Use Encrypt Sensitive Data when your Claude Code task falls under the Security category — specifically in the cloud security area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Encrypt Sensitive Data" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/security/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Encrypt Sensitive Data skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Encrypt Sensitive Data is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Security category.
