Create your Queryable Encryption Enabled Application

Overview

This guide shows you how to build an application that implements Queryable Encryption to automatically encrypt and decrypt document fields.

After you complete the steps in this guide, you should have a working client application that is ready for inserting documents with fields encrypted with your Customer Master Key.

Before You Start

Ensure you have completed the following prerequisite tasks before creating your application:

1. Install a Queryable Encryption compatible driver and dependencies

2. Install and configure a query analysis component

3. Create a Customer Master Key

If you are using mongocryptd, your application requires write permissions on the working directory to create the mongocryptd.pid file.

Procedure

Next Steps

After installing a driver and dependencies, creating a Customer Master Key, and creating your application, see Overview: Use Queryable Encryption to encrypt and query data.
