After you create a cryptographic module, access the corresponding cryptographic
specification to define the algorithm.

## 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 functionality 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.

A cryptographic specification will be created by the system when you create a cryptographic module for Field Encryption Enterprise.

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to System SecurityField EncryptionField Encryption Experience.
2. Select View module details from the Field Encryption overview to open the module record you want to configure.  
   Hinweis:  
   The names displayed in the list are appended with the scope, for example, `global.[your Field Encryption Module name ]`.
3. Select Manage Specifications Settings from the Cryptographic Specification.  
   For Field Encryption Enterprise see [Configure advanced algorithms for Field Encryption Enterprise](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/AwpCeIlkwYaP3CqQkKE8EQ "Create 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.").

## Nächste Maßnahme

Perform one of the following operations:

* Select an entry in the Key Lifecycle table to define key lifecycle behavior. See [Configure key lifecycle states](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/NVIDPtYNGu5nP4Wd3oW4Tw "After you have created a cryptographic specification, you can configure the lifecycle actions for the keys in your instance.") for details to complete the lifecycle definition for the key.
* Click Next to create a cryptographic key. For details on this process, see [Generate a ServiceNow cryptographic key](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/24qBq00hyoT4pc0kGA7nTw "Follow this procedure to upload and configure a ServiceNow cryptographic key to encrypt sensitive data.").
