Introduced encrypted WAF matched payload logging using Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE). This feature allows customers to provide their own public key (or generate a key pair) to encrypt sensitive parts of requests that trigger WAF rules. The encrypted payloads are logged as base64 blobs in the metadata field and can be decrypted client-side via the dashboard or using a command-line utility with the customer's private key. This enhances user privacy by ensuring only the customer can decrypt the matched payload data.
