The ServiceNow®
Encryption Key Management application protects your data by using encryption, tightly controlled key access, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-57-based key life-cycle management, and FIPS 140-2-L3 key
protection. Encryption Key Management was enhanced and updated in the Australia release.

## Encryption Key Management highlights for the Australia release {#encryption-key-mgmt-rn__encryption-key-mgmt-rn-highlights}

* GlideDigest has been updated to allow creation and verification of message digests using the SHA512 cryptographic hash function
* Admins can share module keys between instances offline to facilitate instance clones between on-premise instances using KMF.
* The signing and verification processes for JWTs are now integrated as operation types in the existing KMFCryptoOperation class.

## Important information for upgrading to Australia {#encryption-key-mgmt-rn__encryption-key-mgmt-rn-upgrade-info}

* In pre-Zurich releases, the GlideEncrypter API used the three-key Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) encryption standard, which [NIST 800-131A Rev 2](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-131Ar2.pdf) has recommended against using after 2023. The following changes are taking place in the Australia release in preparation for a full deprecation of GlideEncrypter/3DES in the future:
  * New Australia instances can't use GlideEncrypter. All base system scripts have been changed to use alternative encryption processes.
  * if you're upgrading your Australia instances, you can still GlideEncrypter, which has been updated to use AES256-GCM encryption via the Key Management Framework.
  * Learn more about 3DES deprecation in [KB1704481](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1704481).

## New in the Australia release {#encryption-key-mgmt-rn__encryption-key-mgmt-rn-new-features}

[Added SHA512 support for message digests](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_GlideDigestScopedAPI&version=australia&pubname=australia-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US)
:   GlideDigest has been updated to allow creation and verification of message digests using the SHA512 cryptographic hash function.

Offline key exchange to share module keys between instances
:   Admins can share module keys between instances offline to facilitate instance clones between on-premise instances using KMF.

[Sign and verify JSON web tokens (JWT) through KMFCryptoOperation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=KMFCryptoOperationBothAPI&version=australia&pubname=australia-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US)
:   The signing and verification processes for JWTs are now integrated as operation types in the existing KMFCryptoOperation class.

Centralized Crypto Management console
:   Use the new Crypto Management Console to streamline and track the certificate management lifecycle. The new console scans your instance for certificates and displays their details in a central location,

Clone and restore support for on-premise instances
:   Support for cloning and restoring on-premise instances. Support has also been added from migrating a commercial instance to on-premise instances, and vice-versa.

Certificate Revocation List (CRL) validation support
:   ServiceNow now supports Certificate Revocation List (CRL) validation for certificate revocation checks as an alternative to Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), with automatic fallback when OCSP is unavailable.

## Changed in this release {#encryption-key-mgmt-rn__encryption-key-mgmt-rn-changed-features}

[Updated workflow for creating cryptographic modules](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-cryptographic-module&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US){#encryption-key-mgmt-rn__encryption-key-mgmt-rn-rn-workspace}
:   Use the streamlined workflow designed for faster, easier creation of cryptographic modules.

[SecurityUtils Enhancements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=GlideSecurityUtilsScopedAPI&version=australia&pubname=australia-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US)
:   The SecurityUtils API has been enhanced to help prevent cross-site scripting attacks, including methods to sanitize and escape input.
