Create a Field Encryption cryptographic module to define the mechanisms used for cryptographic operations.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: security_admin  and sn_kmf.cryptographic_manager  or sn_kmf.admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

This procedure describes options that are available with Field Encryption with the base system and additional configuration options that become available with Field Encryption Enterprise functionality. Field Encryption Enterprise is available with a paid subscription. Refer to [Encryption and Key Management subscription bundle](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1ecP56AMSSFdlBEyW4Jngg "With Key Management, Field Encryption is upgraded at no additional charge to include highly configurable encryption modules. You can also optionally upgrade to the unlimited-use license. Subscribe to the new encryption entitlement bundle, Platform Encryption, which includes Field Encryption Enterprise and Cloud Encryption.") for supported features and options available with each offering. See [Activate Field Encryption](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/d~sW4JlJZpz95XWViCzI5w "Activate either Field Encryption Starter or Field Encryption Enterprise.") for more information on obtaining Field Encryption Enterprise.

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllSystem SecurityField Encryption ExperienceCreate new module.
2. Enter the module name and select the algorithm.  
3. Select Create.
4. Click Submit.  
   After submitting successfully, your cryptographic module is listed in the Field Encryption modules overview.  
   Warnung:  

   For legacy encryption support users:
   :   If you're using the non-enterprise version of Field Encryption, you're limited to five fields. If you've exceeded this limit, you receive the following warning:
   : This insertion exceeds the number of published fields limit for Field Encryption  entitled with the Subscription Product. The Enterprise subscription for Field Encryption is required for additional fields. Please reach out to your Account team.  
   A default cryptographic specification is created with the crypto purpose set to Symmetric Data Encryption/Decryption and the algorithm as AES 256 CBC. Select the algorithm for updates.
5. To open the configuration options, click the newly created cryptographic module.  
   Hinweis:  
   A maximum of five Field Encryption fields are allowed before upgrading to Field Encryption Enterprise. An error message displays and you are prevented from adding additional cryptographic modules.

## Ergebnisse

After submitting successfully, your cryptographic module is listed on the Field Encryption modules overview page of Field Encryption Experience.

## Nächste Maßnahme

To open the configuration options, click the newly created cryptographic module.  
Hinweis:  
A maximum of five Field Encryption fields are allowed before upgrading to Field Encryption Enterprise. A message displays at the top stating the allowance and the number of encrypted fields that you currently have is listed. Once that maximum allowance is met, the Create new button is grayed out and you are prevented from adding additional cryptographic modules.
