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.

Release	Release notes
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. 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.
