Can you explain more about your use case? Why do you want to encrypt a specific category?

I don’t know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but have a look at this thread. Not exactly sure what you mean by ‘category’ in this case.

> Dear Sir, Is there a way to encrypt the data store in .jzon file? We created an app to store employee data including addresses. We have a Security Consultant to assess the app. We found that we (any employee) can download the jzon file which includes data in Google spreadsheet and email it out to anyone. Do you have a way to encrypt the jzon data exported from Google Spreadsheet? So, anyone downloads the jzon file but can’t view it. Thanks for your help!
