    ## I've implemented a Microservice architecture where I've leveraged Spring Cloud Config Server for managing externalized configurations. To ensure the security of sensitive data, I needed a solution for encrypting and decrypting configurations before storing them on GitHub. Fortunately, Spring Cloud Config Server offers robust encryption and decryption capabilities out of the box.

    Here's how I implemented encryption using the Symmetric key method:

    Generated a 32-character alphanumeric encryption key.
    Added the encryption key to my configServer-service application.properties file:

    `encrypt.key = ${ENCRYPT_KEY}`

    Note: ${ENCRYPT_KEY} references the value stored in the 'ENCRYPT_KEY' environmental variable.

    Encrypted sensitive data using the command:
    `curl localhost:8888/encrypt -d 'my-sensitive-password`

    Updated my Microservices configurations stored on GitHub using the Config Server to include:
    `spring.datasource.password={cipher}encrypted-value`

    For detailed guidance, I found the following resources invaluable:

    These references provided comprehensive insights into effectively managing secure configurations with Spring Cloud Config Server.
