Using Field Encryption Release version: Yokohama Updated January 30, 2025 1 minute to readUse Column Level Encryption to manage access to encrypted data on your instances. Use the related links to find information on common Field Encryption tasks. Create cryptographic module for Field EncryptionCreate a Column Level Encryption cryptographic module to define the mechanisms used for cryptographic operations.Using multiple encryption modulesMultiple encryption modules enable data to be encrypted with more than one encryption module. If each module has its own access policy based on a role, for example, users with different roles can encrypt data on the same table but they can still be prevented from viewing each others encrypted data.Create a cryptographic specification for Field EncryptionAfter you create a cryptographic module, access the corresponding cryptographic specification to define the algorithm.Configure advanced algorithms for Field Encryption EnterpriseCreate a cryptographic specification to define the algorithm for a cryptographic module. Customize the encryption specifications with advanced options that are available for Field Encryption Enterprise.Using customer supplied keys with Field Encryption EnterpriseYou can use your own customer-supplied key instead of using the ServiceNow® system-generated keys.Encrypting fields and attachmentsAfter you create your cryptographic modules, create encrypted field configurations and specify whether to encrypt a field on a table or encrypt attachments.Field Encryption Enterprise examplesThese examples walk you through the encryption of fields and attachments using customer-supplied keys.Related conceptsConfigure properties for customer-supplied keysEncrypting fields and attachmentsField Encryption Enterprise examplesRelated tasksCreate cryptographic module for Field EncryptionUsing multiple encryption modulesCreate a cryptographic specification for Field EncryptionConfigure advanced algorithms for Field Encryption Enterprise
