Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Washington DC to Zurich. Tip: If there were no updates for a release notes section in a certain family release, we included a short note for your reference. For example, if a product did not have any updates in Tokyo, the row says "No updates for this release." ## Important information for upgrading Encryption to Zurich Before you upgrade to Zurich, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed. {#dfrn3-encryption-summary__entry__2} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Washington DC | No updates for this release. | | Xanadu | No updates for this release. | | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | For the GlideEncrypter API, NIST 800-131A Rev 2 has recommended against using the Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) encryption. The following changes are taking place in the Zurich release with the official removal of 3DES encryption for GlideEncrypter. * The GlideEncrypter API defaults to using the Key Management Framework (KMF) based algorithm, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), for encryption and decryption operations for upgraded instances only. * For instances created with the Zurich release or later, this API isn't supported. * Learn more about 3DES deprecation in [KB1704481](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1704481). In the Zurich release, Column Level Encryption has received a required upgrade to Key Management Framework Column Level Encryption (KMF-CLE) due to the platform-wide deprecation of 3DES. For more information about this upgrade, see KB1700704. | [ ] ## New features Between your current release family and Zurich, new features were introduced for Encryption. {#dfrn3-encryption-summary__entry__12} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Washington DC | No updates for this release. | | Xanadu | No updates for this release. | | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | [Encrypt data using Row Conditions](https://servicenow-staging.fluidtopics.net/access?context=encrypt-data-using-row-conditions&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Use row conditions for Field Encryption to define encryption rules for rows within a specific column, based on dynamic conditions. | [ ] ## Changes Between your current release family and Zurich, some changes were made to existing Encryption features. {#dfrn3-encryption-summary__entry__22} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Washington DC | No updates for this release. | | Xanadu | No updates for this release. | | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | [Field Encryption Enterprise](https://servicenow-staging.fluidtopics.net/access?context=now-platform-encryption&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) API : Use all three Encryption APIs to encrypt on attachments, without needing to use any one specific API. | [ ] ## Removed Between your current release family and Zurich, some Encryption features or functionality were removed. {#dfrn3-encryption-summary__entry__32} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Washington DC | No updates for this release. | | Xanadu | No updates for this release. | | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Deprecations Between your current release family and Zurich, some Encryption features or functionality were deprecated. {#dfrn3-encryption-summary__entry__42} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Washington DC | No updates for this release. | | Xanadu | No updates for this release. | | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | [Prepare your instance for GlideEncrypter deprecation](https://servicenow-staging.fluidtopics.net/access?context=check-3des&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Encrypted string keys 3DES format is no longer supported.
