# Configure Field Encryption modules

# Configure Field Encryption modules {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  

Configure Field Encryption modules by selecting and updating module settings.

## Before you begin

Role required: KMF Admin (`sn_kmf.admin`) or KMF Cryptographic Manager
(`sn_kmf.cryptographic_manager`)

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem SecurityField EncryptionField Encryption Experience.
2. Select the module you want to configure.  
   To create a new module, see [Create cryptographic module for Field Encryption](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/xnVJuIebW2UDoLtxXZq4bA "Create a Field Encryption cryptographic module to define the mechanisms used for cryptographic operations.").
3. In the Module Overview fill out the fields as shown here.  
   {#configure-fe-modules__table_p4x_3dw_22c__entry__2}

   | Field | Value |
   |-|-|
   | Module name | Enter a descriptive name for your module. ServiceNow automatically prepends the application scope (for example, `global.my_crypto_module`) to prevent conflicts. This name is used in scripts. |
   | Module lifecycle state | The term "lifecycle" refers to the creation, use, and deactivation of a cryptographic module. Set this value to Draft initially during configuration. Set it to Published for active use. Note: The default template is automatically set to Published. |
   | Application scope | The application scope for this module. This field is automatically populated with the current application. |
   | Cryptographic purpose | Displays the purpose of the selected algorithm, key, length, and mode. For Field Encryption, this field is read only and has a value of Symmetric Data Encryption/Data. |
   | Crypto Spec Template | Automatically populated with Default template. This template is used to create the cryptographic module that contains mappings of many cryptographic purposes to cryptographic specifications and recommended algorithms. |
   | Algorithm | Defines which encryption scheme will be used to encrypt fields associated with the module. |

4. Select Submit.

## What to do next

Configure the purpose, algorithm, key length, mode, and origin of your encryption key in [Cryptographic specifications for Field Encryption](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/OP01cdk50hN85rXBFPD6vQ "Use cryptographic specifications to define the purpose, algorithm, key length, mode, and origin of your encryption key.").
