      If you wish to use CSFLE with MongoDB C# today you need to manually generate a schema which is then attached to the MongoClient in order that the fields are correctly encrypted and decrypted.

      We should consider a new FieldEncryption attribute that optionally takes:

      • a data key (GUID)
      • A BSON type for storage
      • an AES encryption enum to determine RANDOM or DETERMINISTIC

      We should also consider whether we want to have attributes and/or an API in order to set the data key at a higher level (e.g. collection) in order to reduce repetition.
