ALTR MASTERLABS
Format-Preserving Encryption
Part II: FPE in Action

Chris Struttmann
CTO, ALTR
This session is all about making it real. We’ll walk step-by-step through how FPE is applied in practice—covering the full cycle from encryption to decryption. You’ll see how FPE lets you operate on encrypted data without fully decrypting it, enabling analytics, queries, and operational workflows to continue securely. We’ll also dig into the nuts and bolts of key management, including key lifecycles, tenancy, and access control. With real-world examples in cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, this session is perfect for security professionals, engineers, and architects ready to bring FPE into their environments.

Part I: FPE in Action
Understand what FPE is, where it fits, and why it’s becoming essential for modern data security.

Part III: Real World Impact
See how to encrypt, operate on, and manage data securely with FPE in real-world environments.
