Remarks

Some database management systems don't have the ability to perform Transparent Data Encryption, this marker interface is used so that SanteDB can encrypt data at the application layer as a fallback. There are several disadvantages to using ALE, namely that searching must be performed on exact matching and the application server is responsible for encrypting data to/from the database. This interface allows the ORM components to encrypt data using a Symmetric Master Key (SMK) which is encrypted and stored in the database using the application master key (AMK) which is on the application server represented by [!:EncryptionCertificate].

The ORM components then use the GetEncryptionProvider method to encrypt and decrypt any columns which are annotated with ApplicationEncryptAttribute transaprently from the caller
