what is the best way to encrypt sensitive data?

Hi Guys!

Assume that there is a field with some sensitive data in your log message and using redact is not an option because you need to read it later.

What is the best way to encrypt data with Vector? Are there any solutions out of the box?
Thank you

It's not been released to stable yet, but we've recently added encrypt and decrypt functions which should be available in nightly releases.
