Welcome to the community, @aortegon! Kindly please be informed that users should be able to encrypt their data at the project level (in your user account) and not with the display of your questions in the xlsform. Once a user encrypts his/her project the submissions is not viewable in the user’s user account even through you are the admin. Users should only be able to access them after decrypting it through the ODK Briefcase.
Yes, of course, I try to encrypt following directions in the link above.
As you can see in the attached xlsx, I’ve created and pasted the public key and so on;
I know that data will only be accesible after decripting using ODK Briedcase… but it will be the next problem: now, my problem is that I don’t reach to encrypt; after, I’ll face the decripting situation.
@aortegon, I just tested your xlsform and I could encrypted them very well at my user account. Sorry I could not clearly understand your last sentence…
My last sentence is only to explain that until the moment, I have not reach to encrypt; if I reach to do, I’ll see how is to decrypt, because I have not some experience on that.
There are basically two approaches to check if your encryption is working as expected:
From the Collect android app, once you have completed colleting the form and then you press save, you should not be able to edit it any more. You should get a message This form cannot be edited once it has been marked as finalized. It may be encrypted.
From your user account, you could try viewing your DATA>Table. You should see nothing. Besides, if you even download your dataset as an xls format you should see a blank dataset.
Ok, I’ll try what you says.
I expect the text “encrypt” just like the doc explain “Once deployed you should see a label with the text “encrypted” next to your form name”
So, first at all, I go to complet somes instances of the form, and I’ll see the data table…
Sorry… I face now the decrypting problem!!
If I must to generate another topic, please let me know.
If I use, as explained at Encrypting Forms — KoBoToolbox documentation?
the " Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6", ODK-Briefcase don’t open. I must use “…Files 7”, then, ODK-Briefcase starts.
[Also, let me know that the link there Java download site dont works]

And, If I try to edit some data, I don’t obtain the message you says, but
…perhaps it indicates some useful…
No need to more help! Thanks a lot, finally, I have success also decrypting!!
The problem was avoided when I have edited both, the public and private key, to eliminate in its the line-feeds (carriage-return). By doing this, process of decrypting have finalized with success.
Thanks a lot for all. I apologize for the inconvenients!!
Hi @warrenmxt
Simply, you must edit the public and private key files (with note pad ++ , for example).
Placing the cursor at the end of each line, press del, and it will delete the line -feed of this line. Repeat the operation with each line, and remember you must edit both, the public and private key files. Ok?
Well @warrenmxt , encryption is jet reached, congratulations!
To decrypt your data: what’s version of Suitcase are you using?
If you are using latest version, v1.18.0, obtain and use v1.15.0. @Kal_Lam says me that for decription issues, this version ir more secure.
If it’s fail even with v1.15.0, then consider you can have some instances causing the problem; if there are only trying instances, consider elimnates it’s, and generate other news intances. It will work!!
