AES Encrypt

Encrypts content using the AES algorithm.

Example
This flow protects a customer's account number before it is stored. The AES Encrypt action encrypts the account number, a Function action creates a customer record with the customer name and the encrypted account number, and a SQL Server Insert Entity action saves the record to a database table. Use the AES Decrypt action to read the account number back.
