How does the server know which key to use for decryption and re-encryption of encrypted data?

0

Each piece of encrypted data stored in the repository is prefixed by the ID of the server encryption key that was used to encrypt it. When an object containing encrypted data is read into memory, Identity Manager uses the server encryption key associated with the ID prefix on the encrypted data to decrypt, and then re-encrypt with the same key if the data changed.
