As an outside-the-box approach, some organizations choose to encrypt sensitive data via code, processing the data while it is in the web servers and before transmitting it to the next tier. Access to the decryption keys is granted to specific application servers that handle decryption requests. This scheme can be extended further, to the user side, by encrypting the sensitive data field using a public key in the client-side code before transmitting it to the web server. The organization can then control access to the private key and thereby ensure that the data is encrypted during transmission all the way through to the application component that is authorized to decrypt the data.
