Overview
The Decrypted AttributeDefinition decrypts values of input attributes to an output attribute. The encryption/decryption is based on a supplied utility class used elsewhere in the IdP called a DataSealer.
This is a utility component that may prove useful in support of use cases where data being resolved should be private to the IdP but stored elsewhere.
Configuring this definition requires adding at least one <InputAttributeDefinition> or <InputDataConnector> element and supplying a reference to a DataSealer with access to the key used to encrypt the input data.
