{#rn-summary-deprecated__rn-summary-accessibility-table__entry__2}

| Application or feature | Details |
|-|-|
| API | * The GlideEncrypter API no longer supports Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) due to updated [NIST 800-131A Rev 2](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-131Ar2.pdf) guidelines. * For existing instances that upgrade to the Zurich release, the GlideEncrypter API is available for use but has been updated to automatically use the Key Management Framework algorithm. See [GlideEncrypter - Global (deprecated)](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=GlideEncrypterAPI&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US) for more information on how to continue calling this API. * For all new instances created starting with the Zurich release, the GlideEncrypter API is no longer supported. Directly use the [Key Management Framework](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=encryption&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US) instead for all cryptography operations. {#rn-summary-deprecated__ul_km1_l53_wfc} * Dynamic groups have been removed from dynamic schema in Core Platform. For dynamic attributes defined with an associated dynamic attribute group before the Zurich release, the [GlideDynamicAttribute](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=GlideDynamicAttributeAPI&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US) getGroupName() method originally designed for dynamic attribute groups continues to work for backwards compatibility. The getGroupName() method returns null for migrated attributes and newly created attributes. Customers are urged to migrate to the current [Dynamic Attribute](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=working-with-dynamic-schema&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US) definitions to take advantage of future improvements in features and functionality. For migration details, see the [Dynamic Schema Zurich Migration Guide \[KB2146133\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB2146133) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base. {#rn-summary-deprecated__ul_sfs_1rh_rkb} |
