+# Encrypted Type
+
+Sometimes you need to store sensitive data like secrets, tokens, or personal information in your database in an encrypted format.
+
+You can use the `EncryptedType` from the `sqlalchemy-utils` package to achieve this with SQLModel.
+
+## A Model with an Encrypted Field
+
+You can define a field with `EncryptedType` in your SQLModel model using `sa_column`:
+
+{* ./docs_src/advanced/encrypted_type/tutorial001.py *}
+
+In this example, the `secret_name` field will be automatically encrypted when you save a `Hero` object to the database and decrypted when you access it.
+
+/// tip
+For this to work, you need to have `sqlalchemy-utils` and `cryptography` installed.
+///
+
+For a more detailed walkthrough, including how to create and query data with encrypted fields, check out the [Encrypting Data Tutorial](../tutorial/encrypted-type.md).

+# Encrypting Data
+
+In this tutorial, you'll learn how to encrypt data before storing it in your database using SQLModel and `sqlalchemy-utils`.
+
+## The Scenario
+
+Let's imagine we're building an application to store information about characters from our favorite TV show, Ted Lasso. We want to store their names, secret names (which should be encrypted), and their ages.
+
+## The Code
+
+Here's the complete code to achieve this:
+
+{* ./docs_src/tutorial/encrypted_type/tutorial001.py *}
+
+### Understanding the Code
+
+Let's break down the key parts of the code:
+
+1.  **`EncryptedType`**: We use `EncryptedType` from `sqlalchemy-utils` as a `sa_column` for the `secret_name` field. This tells SQLModel to use this special type for the column in the database.
+
+2.  **Encryption Key**: We provide an encryption key to `EncryptedType`. In a real-world application, you should **never** hardcode the key like this. Instead, you should load it from a secure source like a secret manager or an environment variable.
+
+3.  **`demonstrate_encryption` function**: This function shows the power of `EncryptedType`.
+    *   First, it queries the database directly using raw SQL. When we print the `secret_name` from this query, you'll see the encrypted string, not the original secret name.
+    *   Then, it queries the database using SQLModel. When we access the `secret_name` attribute of the `Character` objects, `EncryptedType` automatically decrypts the data for us, so we get the original, readable secret names.
+
+## How to Test
+
+To run this example, first create a virtual environment:
+
+```bash
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+Then, install the required packages from the `requirements.txt` file:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r docs_src/tutorial/encrypted_type/requirements.txt
+```
+
+Then, you can run the python script:
+
+```bash
+python docs_src/tutorial/encrypted_type/tutorial001.py
+```
+
+## Running the Code
+
+When you run the code, you'll see the following output:
+
+```console
+Creating database and tables...
+Creating characters...
+
+Demonstrating encryption...
+Data as stored in the database:
+Name: Roy Kent, Encrypted Secret Name: b'5dBrkurIL+fEin+1eUBc0A=='
+Name: Jamie Tartt, Encrypted Secret Name: b'CDLkQWx5ezXn+U4kRlVFyQ=='
+Name: Dani Rojas, Encrypted Secret Name: b'SqSjH+biJttbs9zH+DBw8A=='
+
+Data as accessed through SQLModel:
+Name: Roy Kent, Decrypted Secret Name: The Special One
+Name: Jamie Tartt, Decrypted Secret Name: Baby Shark
+Name: Dani Rojas, Decrypted Secret Name: Fútbol is Life
+```
+
+As you can see, `EncryptedType` handles the encryption and decryption for you automatically, making it easy to store sensitive data securely.
