In OAuth 2 client credentials flow as client secret is almost equivalent to a password should it be encrypted?
Does kong provide any such encryptions?

Oops sorry I phrased the question incorrectly....I was planning to use ssl but I was thinking more interms of comparing client secret(passed by the client App) with hashed one(hashed using any of the algorithms SHA3 etc) in the datastore.....so that the client secrets are safe in the datastore
