  Here is an example using Payload's own ecrypt and decrypt functions.

  // encryptionHooks.ts
  import { FieldHook } from 'payload/types';
  
  const encryptKey: FieldHook = ({ req, value }) => (value ? req.payload.encrypt(value as string) : undefined);
  const decryptKey: FieldHook = ({ req, value }) => (value ? req.payload.decrypt(value as string) : undefined);
  
  const encryptionHooks = {
    beforeChange: [
      encryptKey,
    ],
    afterRead: [
      decryptKey,
    ],
  };
  
  export default encryptionHooks;

  Example usage in a field:

  import encryptionHooks from '../../fields/encryptionHooks';
  
  const Customers: CollectionConfig = {
  	slug: 'customers',
  	fields: [
  		{
  			name: 'ssn',
  			label: 'SSN',
  			type: 'text',
  			hooks: encryptionHooks,
  		},
  	],
  };

  so payload encrypts and decrypt is already in the payload you just need to use it. that's amazing
