Overview

This guide shows you how to build an application that implements the MongoDB Queryable Encryption feature to automatically encrypt and decrypt document fields and use Amazon Web Services (AWS) KMS for key management.

After you complete the steps in this guide, you should have:

  • A Customer Master Key managed by AWS KMS

  • An AWS IAM user with permissions to access the Customer Master Key in AWS KMS

  • A working client application that inserts documents with encrypted fields using your Customer Master Key

Tip

Customer Master Keys

To learn more about the Customer Master Key, read the Keys and Key Vaults documentation.

Before You Get Started

To complete and run the code in this guide, you need to set up your development environment as shown in the Installation Requirements page.

Tip

See: Full Application

To see the complete code for this sample application, select the tab corresponding to your programming language and follow the provided link. Each sample application repository includes a README.md file that you can use to learn how to set up your environment and run the application.

Set Up the KMS

1

Create the Customer Master Key

1

Log in to your AWS Management Console.

2

Navigate to the AWS KMS Console.

3

Create your Customer Master Key

Create a new symmetric key by following the official AWS documentation on Creating symmetric KMS keys. The key you create is your Customer Master Key. Choose a name and description that helps you identify it; these fields do not affect the functionality or configuration of your CMK.

In the Usage Permissions step of the key generation process, apply the following default key policy that enables Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to grant access to your Customer Master Key:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Enable IAM User Permissions",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "<ARN of your AWS account principal>"
      },
      "Action": "kms:*",
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

Important

Record the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) and Region of your Customer Master Key. You will use these in later steps of this guide.

Tip

Key Policies

To learn more about key policies, see Key Policies in AWS KMS in the official AWS documentation.

2

Create an AWS IAM User

1

Navigate to the AWS IAM Console.

2

Create an IAM User

Create a new programmatic IAM user in the AWS management console by following the official AWS documentation on Adding a User. You will use this IAM user as a service account for your Queryable Encryption-enabled application. Your application authenticates with AWS KMS using the IAM user to encrypt and decrypt your Data Encryption Keys (DEKs) with your Customer Master Key (CMK).

Important

Record your Credentials

Ensure you record the following IAM credentials in the final step of creating your IAM user:

  • access key ID

  • secret access key

You have one opportunity to record these credentials. If you do not record these credentials during this step, you must create another IAM user.

3

Grant Permissions

Grant your IAM user kms:Encrypt and kms:Decrypt permissions for your remote master key.

Important

The new client IAM user should not have administrative permissions for the master key. To keep your data secure, follow the principle of least privilege.

The following inline policy allows an IAM user to encrypt and decrypt with the Customer Master Key with the least privileges possible:

Note

Remote Master Key ARN

The following policy requires the ARN of the key you generate in the Create the Master Key step of this guide.

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": ["kms:Decrypt", "kms:Encrypt"],
      "Resource": "<the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of your remote master key>"
    }
  ]
}

To apply the preceding policy to your IAM user, follow the Adding IAM identity permissions guide in the AWS documentation.

Important

Authenticate with IAM Roles in Production

When deploying your Queryable Encryption-enabled application to a production environment, authenticate your application by using an IAM role instead of an IAM user.

To learn more about IAM roles, see the following pages in the official AWS documentation:

Create your Encrypted Collection

1

Add Your AWS KMS Credentials

Create a variable containing your AWS KMS credentials with the following structure. Use the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key you created in the Create an IAM User step of this tutorial.

kmsProviderCredentials = {
  aws: {
    accessKeyId: process.env["AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"], // Your AWS access key ID
    secretAccessKey: process.env["AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"], // Your AWS secret access key
  },
};
var kmsProviderCredentials = new Dictionary<string, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object>>();
var kmsOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    { "accessKeyId", _appSettings["Aws:AccessKeyId"] }, // Your AWS access key ID
    { "secretAccessKey", _appSettings["Aws:SecretAccessKey"] } // Your AWS secret access key
};
kmsProviderCredentials.Add(kmsProvider, kmsOptions);
kmsProviderCredentials := map[string]map[string]interface{}{
	"aws": {
		"accessKeyId":     os.Getenv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),     // AWS access key ID
		"secretAccessKey": os.Getenv("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"), // AWS secret access key
	},
}
Map<String, Object> kmsProviderDetails = new HashMap<>();
kmsProviderDetails.put("accessKeyId", getEnv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID")); // Your AWS access key ID
kmsProviderDetails.put("secretAccessKey", getEnv("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY")); // Your AWS secret access key
Map<String, Map<String, Object>> kmsProviderCredentials = new HashMap<String, Map<String, Object>>();
kmsProviderCredentials.put("aws", kmsProviderDetails);
kmsProviders = {
  aws: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, // Your AWS access key ID
    secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, // Your AWS secret access key
  },
};
kms_provider_credentials = {
    "aws": {
        "accessKeyId": os.environ['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'], # Your AWS access key ID
        "secretAccessKey": os.environ['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'] # Your AWS secret access key
    }
}

Important

Reminder: Authenticate with IAM Roles in Production

To use an IAM role instead of an IAM user to authenticate your application, specify an empty object for your credentials in your KMS provider object. This instructs the driver to automatically retrieve the credentials from the environment:

kmsProviders = {
  aws: { }
};
kmsProviderCredentials.Add("aws", new Dictionary<string, object>);
kmsProviderCredentials := map[string]map[string]interface{}{
  "aws": { },
}
kmsProviderCredentials.put("aws", new HashMap<>());
kmsProviders = {
  aws: { }
};
kms_provider_credentials = {
  "aws": { }
}
2

Add your Customer Master Key Credentials

Create a variable containing your Customer Master Key credentials with the following structure. Use the ARN and Region you recorded in the Create a Customer Master Key step of this tutorial.

customerMasterKeyCredentials = {
  key: process.env["AWS_KEY_ARN"], // Your AWS Key ARN
  region: process.env["AWS_KEY_REGION"], // Your AWS Key Region
};
var customerMasterKeyCredentials = new BsonDocument
{
    { "key", _appSettings["Aws:KeyArn"] }, // Your AWS Key ARN
    { "region", _appSettings["Aws:KeyRegion"] } // Your AWS Key Region
};
customerMasterKeyCredentials := map[string]string{
	"key":    os.Getenv("AWS_KEY_ARN"),    // Your AWS Key ARN
	"region": os.Getenv("AWS_KEY_REGION"), // Your AWS Key Region
}
BsonDocument customerMasterKeyCredentials = new BsonDocument();
customerMasterKeyCredentials.put("provider", new BsonString(kmsProviderName));
customerMasterKeyCredentials.put("key", new BsonString(getEnv("AWS_KEY_ARN"))); // Your AWS Key ARN
customerMasterKeyCredentials.put("region", new BsonString(getEnv("AWS_KEY_REGION"))); // Your AWS Key Region
customerMasterKeyCredentials = {
  key: process.env.AWS_KEY_ARN, // Your AWS Key ARN
  region: process.env.AWS_KEY_REGION, // Your AWS Key Region
};
customer_master_key_credentials = {
    "key": os.environ['AWS_KEY_ARN'],  # Your AWS Key ARN
    "region": os.environ['AWS_KEY_REGION'] # Your AWS Key Region
}
3

Set Your Automatic Encryption Options

Create an autoEncryptionOptions object that contains the following options:

  • The namespace of your Key Vault collection

  • The kmsProviderCredentials object, which contains your AWS KMS credentials

const autoEncryptionOptions = {
  keyVaultNamespace: keyVaultNamespace,
  kmsProviders: kmsProviderCredentials,
};

Create an AutoEncryptionOptions object that contains the following options:

  • The namespace of your Key Vault collection

  • The kmsProviderCredentials object, which contains your AWS KMS credentials

  • The extraOptions object, which contains the path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

var extraOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    { "cryptSharedLibPath", _appSettings["CryptSharedLibPath"] } // Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library
};
var autoEncryptionOptions = new AutoEncryptionOptions(
    keyVaultNamespace,
    kmsProviderCredentials,
    extraOptions: extraOptions);

Create an AutoEncryption object that contains the following options:

  • The namespace of your Key Vault collection

  • The kmsProviderCredentials object, which contains your AWS KMS credentials

  • The cryptSharedLibraryPath object, which contains the path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

cryptSharedLibraryPath := map[string]interface{}{
	"cryptSharedLibPath": os.Getenv("SHARED_LIB_PATH"), // Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library
}
autoEncryptionOptions := options.AutoEncryption().
	SetKeyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace).
	SetKmsProviders(kmsProviderCredentials).
	SetExtraOptions(cryptSharedLibraryPath)

Create an AutoEncryptionSettings object that contains the following options:

  • The namespace of your Key Vault collection

  • The kmsProviderCredentials object, which contains your AWS KMS credentials

  • The extraOptions object, which contains the path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

Map<String, Object> extraOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
extraOptions.put("cryptSharedLibPath", getEnv("SHARED_LIB_PATH")); // Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library
AutoEncryptionSettings autoEncryptionSettings = AutoEncryptionSettings.builder()
        .keyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace)
        .kmsProviders(kmsProviderCredentials)
        .extraOptions(extraOptions)
        .build();

Create an autoEncryptionOptions object that contains the following options:

  • The namespace of your Key Vault collection

  • The kmsProviders object, which contains your AWS KMS credentials

  • The sharedLibraryPathOptions object, which contains the path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

const sharedLibraryPathOptions = {
  cryptSharedLibPath: process.env.SHARED_LIB_PATH, // Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library
};
const autoEncryptionOptions = {
  keyVaultNamespace,
  kmsProviders,
  sharedLibraryPathOptions,
};

Create an AutoEncryptionOpts object that contains the following options:

  • The kms_provider_credentials object, which contains your AWS KMS credentials

  • The namespace of your Key Vault collection

  • The path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

auto_encryption_options = AutoEncryptionOpts(
    kms_provider_credentials,
    key_vault_namespace,
    crypt_shared_lib_path=os.environ['SHARED_LIB_PATH'] # Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library>
)

Note

Automatic Encryption Options

The automatic encryption options provide configuration information to the Automatic Encryption Shared Library, which modifies the application's behavior when accessing encrypted fields.

To learn more about the Automatic Encryption Shared Library, see the Automatic Encryption Shared Library for Queryable Encryption page.

4

Create a Client to Set Up an Encrypted Collection

To create a client used to encrypt and decrypt data in your collection, instantiate a new MongoClient by using your connection URI and your automatic encryption options.

const encryptedClient = Mongo(uri, autoEncryptionOpts);
var clientSettings = MongoClientSettings.FromConnectionString(uri);
clientSettings.AutoEncryptionOptions = qeHelpers.GetAutoEncryptionOptions(
    keyVaultNamespace,
    kmsProviderCredentials);
var encryptedClient = new MongoClient(clientSettings);
encryptedClient, err := mongo.Connect(
	context.TODO(),
	options.Client().ApplyURI(uri).SetAutoEncryptionOptions(autoEncryptionOptions),
)
if err != nil {
	panic(fmt.Sprintf("Unable to connect to MongoDB: %v\n", err))
}
defer func() {
	_ = encryptedClient.Disconnect(context.TODO())
}()
MongoClientSettings clientSettings = MongoClientSettings.builder()
        .applyConnectionString(new ConnectionString(uri))
        .autoEncryptionSettings(autoEncryptionSettings)
        .build();
try (MongoClient encryptedClient = MongoClients.create(clientSettings)) {
const encryptedClient = new MongoClient(uri, {
  autoEncryption: autoEncryptionOptions,
});
encrypted_client = MongoClient(
    uri, auto_encryption_opts=auto_encryption_options)
5

Specify Fields to Encrypt

To encrypt a field, add it to the encryption schema. To enable queries on a field, add the "queries" property. Create the encryption schema as follows:

const encryptedFieldsMap = {
  encryptedFields: {
    fields: [
      {
        path: "patientRecord.ssn",
        bsonType: "string",
        queries: { queryType: "equality" },
      },
      {
        path: "patientRecord.billing",
        bsonType: "object",
      },
    ],
  },
};
var encryptedFields = new BsonDocument
{
    {
        "fields", new BsonArray
        {
            new BsonDocument
            {
                { "keyId", BsonNull.Value },
                { "path", "record.ssn" },
                { "bsonType", "string" },
                { "queries", new BsonDocument("queryType", "equality") }
            },
            new BsonDocument
            {
                { "keyId", BsonNull.Value },
                { "path", "record.billing" },
                { "bsonType", "object" }
            }
        }
    }
};
encryptedFieldsMap := bson.M{
	"fields": []bson.M{
		bson.M{
			"keyId":    nil,
			"path":     "patientRecord.ssn",
			"bsonType": "string",
			"queries": []bson.M{
				{
					"queryType": "equality",
				},
			},
		},
		bson.M{
			"keyId":    nil,
			"path":     "patientRecord.billing",
			"bsonType": "object",
		},
	},
}
BsonDocument encryptedFieldsMap = new BsonDocument().append("fields",
        new BsonArray(Arrays.asList(
                new BsonDocument()
                        .append("keyId", new BsonNull())
                        .append("path", new BsonString("patientRecord.ssn"))
                        .append("bsonType", new BsonString("string"))
                        .append("queries", new BsonDocument()
                                .append("queryType", new BsonString("equality"))),
                new BsonDocument()
                        .append("keyId", new BsonNull())
                        .append("path", new BsonString("patientRecord.billing"))
                        .append("bsonType", new BsonString("object")))));
const encryptedFieldsMap = {
  encryptedFields: {
    fields: [
      {
        path: "patientRecord.ssn",
        bsonType: "string",
        queries: { queryType: "equality" },
      },
      {
        path: "patientRecord.billing",
        bsonType: "object",
      },
    ],
  },
};
encrypted_fields_map = {
    "fields": [
        {
            "path": "patientRecord.ssn",
            "bsonType": "string",
            "queries": [{"queryType": "equality"}]
        },
        {
            "path": "patientRecord.billing",
            "bsonType": "object",
        }
    ]
}

Note

In the previous code sample, both the "ssn" and "billing" fields are encrypted, but only the "ssn" field can be queried.

Create the Collection

Instantiate ClientEncryption to access the API for the encryption helper methods.

const clientEncryption = encryptedClient.getClientEncryption()
var clientEncryptionOptions = new ClientEncryptionOptions(
    keyVaultClient: keyVaultClient,
    keyVaultNamespace: keyVaultNamespace,
    kmsProviders: kmsProviderCredentials
);
var clientEncryption = new ClientEncryption(clientEncryptionOptions);
opts := options.ClientEncryption().
	SetKeyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace).
	SetKmsProviders(kmsProviderCredentials)
clientEncryption, err := mongo.NewClientEncryption(encryptedClient, opts)
if err != nil {
	panic(fmt.Sprintf("Unable to create a ClientEncryption instance due to the following error: %s\n", err))
}
ClientEncryptionSettings clientEncryptionSettings = ClientEncryptionSettings.builder()
        .keyVaultMongoClientSettings(MongoClientSettings.builder()
                .applyConnectionString(new ConnectionString(uri))
                .build())
        .keyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace)
        .kmsProviders(kmsProviderCredentials)
        .build();
ClientEncryption clientEncryption = ClientEncryptions.create(clientEncryptionSettings);
const clientEncryption = new ClientEncryption(encryptedClient, autoEncryptionOptions);
client_encryption = ClientEncryption(
    kms_providers=kms_provider_credentials,
    key_vault_namespace=key_vault_namespace,
    key_vault_client=encrypted_client,
    codec_options=CodecOptions(uuid_representation=STANDARD)
)

Create your encrypted collection by using the encryption helper method accessed through the ClientEncryption class. This method automatically generates data encryption keys for your encrypted fields and creates the encrypted collection:

await clientEncryption.createEncryptedCollection(
  encryptedDatabaseName,
  encryptedCollectionName,
  {
    provider: kmsProviderName,
    createCollectionOptions: encryptedFieldsMap,
    masterKey: customerMasterKeyCredentials,
  }
);

The C# version of this tutorial uses separate classes as data models to represent the document structure. Add the following Patient, PatientRecord, and PatientBilling classes to your project:

using MongoDB.Bson;
using MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Attributes;
[BsonIgnoreExtraElements]
public class Patient
{
    public ObjectId Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public PatientRecord Record { get; set; }
}
public class PatientRecord
{
    public string Ssn { get; set; }
    public PatientBilling Billing { get; set; }
}
public class PatientBilling
{
    public string CardType { get; set; }
    public long CardNumber { get; set; }
}

After you've added these classes, create your encrypted collection by using the encryption helper method accessed through the ClientEncryption class. This method automatically generates data encryption keys for your encrypted fields and creates the encrypted collection:

var createCollectionOptions = new CreateCollectionOptions<Patient>
{
    EncryptedFields = encryptedFields
};
clientEncryption.CreateEncryptedCollection(patientDatabase,
    encryptedCollectionName,
    createCollectionOptions,
    kmsProviderName,
    customerMasterKeyCredentials);

Tip

Database vs. Database Name

The method that creates the encrypted collection requires a reference to a database object rather than the database name. You can obtain this reference by using a method on your client object.

The Golang version of this tutorial uses data models to represent the document structure. Add the following structs to your project to represent the data in your collection:

type PatientDocument struct {
	PatientName   string        `bson:"patientName"`
	PatientID     int32         `bson:"patientId"`
	PatientRecord PatientRecord `bson:"patientRecord"`
}
type PatientRecord struct {
	SSN     string      `bson:"ssn"`
	Billing PaymentInfo `bson:"billing"`
}
type PaymentInfo struct {
	Type   string `bson:"type"`
	Number string `bson:"number"`
}

After you've added these classes, create your encrypted collection by using the encryption helper method accessed through the ClientEncryption class. This method automatically generates data encryption keys for your encrypted fields and creates the encrypted collection:

createCollectionOptions := options.CreateCollection().SetEncryptedFields(encryptedFieldsMap)
_, _, err =
	clientEncryption.CreateEncryptedCollection(
		context.TODO(),
		encryptedClient.Database(encryptedDatabaseName),
		encryptedCollectionName,
		createCollectionOptions,
		kmsProviderName,
		customerMasterKey,
	)

Tip

Database vs. Database Name

The method that creates the encrypted collection requires a reference to a database object rather than the database name. You can obtain this reference by using a method on your client object.

Create your encrypted collection by using the encryption helper method accessed through the ClientEncryption class. This method automatically generates data encryption keys for your encrypted fields and creates the encrypted collection:

CreateCollectionOptions createCollectionOptions = new CreateCollectionOptions().encryptedFields(encryptedFieldsMap);
CreateEncryptedCollectionParams encryptedCollectionParams = new CreateEncryptedCollectionParams(kmsProviderName);
encryptedCollectionParams.masterKey(customerMasterKeyCredentials);
try {
    clientEncryption.createEncryptedCollection(
            encryptedClient.getDatabase(encryptedDatabaseName),
            encryptedCollectionName,
            createCollectionOptions,
            encryptedCollectionParams);
}

Tip

Database vs. Database Name

The method that creates the encrypted collection requires a reference to a database object rather than the database name. You can obtain this reference by using a method on your client object.

Note

Import ClientEncryption

When using the Node.js driver v6.0 and later, you must import ClientEncryption from mongodb.

For earlier driver versions, import ClientEncryption from mongodb-client-encryption.

Create your encrypted collection by using the encryption helper method accessed through the ClientEncryption class. This method automatically generates data encryption keys for your encrypted fields and creates the encrypted collection:

await clientEncryption.createEncryptedCollection(
  encryptedDatabase,
  encryptedCollectionName,
  {
    provider: kmsProviderName,
    createCollectionOptions: encryptedFieldsMap,
    masterKey: customerMasterKeyCredentials,
  }
);

Create your encrypted collection by using the encryption helper method accessed through the ClientEncryption class. This method automatically generates data encryption keys for your encrypted fields and creates the encrypted collection:

client_encryption.create_encrypted_collection(
    encrypted_client[encrypted_database_name],
    encrypted_collection_name,
    encrypted_fields_map,
    kms_provider_name,
    customer_master_key_credentials,
)

Insert a Document with Encrypted Fields

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

const patientDocument = {
  patientName: "Jon Doe",
  patientId: 12345678,
  patientRecord: {
    ssn: "987-65-4320",
    billing: {
      type: "Visa",
      number: "4111111111111111",
    },
  },
};
const encryptedCollection = encryptedClient.getDB(encryptedDatabaseName).getCollection(encryptedCollectionName);
const insertResult = await encryptedCollection.insertOne(patientDocument);

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

var patient = new Patient
{
    Name = "Jon Doe",
    Id = new ObjectId(),
    Record = new PatientRecord
    {
        Ssn = "987-65-4320",
        Billing = new PatientBilling
        {
            CardType = "Visa",
            CardNumber = 4111111111111111
        }
    }
};
var encryptedCollection = encryptedClient.GetDatabase(encryptedDatabaseName).
    GetCollection<Patient>(encryptedCollectionName);
encryptedCollection.InsertOne(patient);

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

patientDocument := &PatientDocument{
	PatientName: "John Doe",
	PatientID:   12345678,
	PatientRecord: PatientRecord{
		SSN: "987-65-4320",
		Billing: PaymentInfo{
			Type:   "Visa",
			Number: "4111111111111111",
		},
	},
}
coll := encryptedClient.Database(encryptedDatabaseName).Collection(encryptedCollectionName)
_, err = coll.InsertOne(context.TODO(), patientDocument)
if err != nil {
	panic(fmt.Sprintf("Unable to insert the patientDocument: %s", err))
}

This tutorial uses POJOs as data models to represent the document structure. To set up your application to use POJOs, add the following code:

CodecProvider pojoCodecProvider = PojoCodecProvider.builder().automatic(true).build();
CodecRegistry pojoCodecRegistry = fromRegistries(getDefaultCodecRegistry(), fromProviders(pojoCodecProvider));

To learn more about Java POJOs, see the Plain Old Java Object wikipedia article.

This tutorial uses the following POJOs:

  • Patient

  • PatientRecord

  • PatientBilling

You can view these classes in the models package of the complete Java application.

Add these POJO classes to your application. Then, create an instance of a Patient that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

MongoDatabase encryptedDb = encryptedClient.getDatabase(encryptedDatabaseName).withCodecRegistry(pojoCodecRegistry);
MongoCollection<Patient> collection = encryptedDb.getCollection(encryptedCollectionName, Patient.class);
PatientBilling patientBilling = new PatientBilling("Visa", "4111111111111111");
PatientRecord patientRecord = new PatientRecord("987-65-4320", patientBilling);
Patient patientDocument = new Patient("Jon Doe", patientRecord);
InsertOneResult result = collection.insertOne(patientDocument);

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

const patientDocument = {
  patientName: "Jon Doe",
  patientId: 12345678,
  patientRecord: {
    ssn: "987-65-4320",
    billing: {
      type: "Visa",
      number: "4111111111111111",
    },
  },
};
const encryptedCollection = encryptedClient
  .db(encryptedDatabaseName)
  .collection(encryptedCollectionName);
const result = await encryptedCollection.insertOne(patientDocument);

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

patient_document = {
    "patientName": "Jon Doe",
    "patientId": 12345678,
    "patientRecord": {
        "ssn": "987-65-4320",
        "billing": {
            "type": "Visa",
            "number": "4111111111111111",
        },
    },
}
encrypted_collection = encrypted_client[encrypted_database_name][encrypted_collection_name]
result = encrypted_collection.insert_one(patient_document)

Query on an Encrypted Field

The following code sample executes a find query on an encrypted field and prints the decrypted data:

const findResult = await encryptedCollection.findOne({
  "patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320",
});
console.log(findResult);
var ssnFilter = Builders<Patient>.Filter.Eq("record.ssn", patient.Record.Ssn);
var findResult = await encryptedCollection.Find(ssnFilter).ToCursorAsync();
Console.WriteLine(findResult.FirstOrDefault().ToJson());
var findResult PatientDocument
err = coll.FindOne(
	context.TODO(),
	bson.M{"patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320"},
).Decode(&findResult)
Patient findResult = collection.find(
    new BsonDocument()
            .append("patientRecord.ssn", new BsonString("987-65-4320")))
            .first();
 
System.out.println(findResult);
const findResult = await encryptedCollection.findOne({
  "patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320",
});
console.log(findResult);
find_result = encrypted_collection.find_one({
    "patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320"
})
print(find_result)

The output of the preceding code sample should look similar to the following:

{
  "_id": {
    "$oid": "648b384a722cb9b8392df76a"
  },
  "name": "Jon Doe",
  "record": {
    "ssn": "987-65-4320",
    "billing": {
      "type": "Visa",
      "number": "4111111111111111"
    }
  },
  "__safeContent__": [
    {
      "$binary": {
        "base64": "L1NsYItk0Sg+oL66DBj6IYHbX7tveANQyrU2cvMzD9Y=",
        "subType": "00"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Warning

Do not Modify the __safeContent__ Field

The __safeContent__ field is essential to Queryable Encryption. Do not modify the contents of this field.
