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

1. Navigate to System Security > Encryption Modules > Create New.

   

2. On the form, fill in the fields.

   Table 1. Cryptographic Module form

   Field	Description
   Module name	Alphanumeric string to be referenced when running scripts.
   Crypto spec template	Default template used to create the cryptographic module, because it contains mappings of many crypto purposes to crypto specifications and recommended algorithms.
   Application	The selected application scope.
   Name	Encryption module name prepended with application scope name to avoid conflict with other scoped applications. For example, if you created a module with the name my_crypto_module in the global application scope, the name is saved as global.my_crypto_module.
   Crypto module lifecycle state	The term lifecycle refers to the creation, use, and deactivation of a cryptographic module. Set to Draft initially during configuration. When using the module, set to Published. The Default template is, automatically set to Published.
   Parent crypto module	The parent is selected as column_level_encryption.

3. Click Submit.

   After submitting successfully, your cryptographic module is listed in the Cryptographic Modules table.

4. To open the configuration options, click the newly created cryptographic module.
