 ** FieldPatterns **   <a name="cloudfront-Type-EncryptionEntity-FieldPatterns"></a>
Field patterns in a field-level encryption content type profile specify the fields that you want to be encrypted. You can provide the full field name, or any beginning characters followed by a wildcard (\$1). You can't overlap field patterns. For example, you can't have both ABC\$1 and AB\$1. Note that field patterns are case-sensitive.
