JHipster blueprint, encrypt-id blueprint for JHipster

Introduction

This is a JHipster blueprint, that is meant to be used in a JHipster application.

You can choose to encrypt the ids for all entities or choose the entities with encrypted ids from a list during generation.

The blueprint will encrypt the ids of all selected entities in the user interface and the REST API, but NOT in the database. This is done to prohibit the users from guessing valid ids and by that preventing some kind of attacks against the application and also hiding some information, like the number of users, transactions, etc.
