# Configure field encryption settings to select key type

Configure your field encryption settings to use ServiceNow supplied keys or your own customer-supplied keys \(CSK\) for encryption on the ServiceNow AI Platform.

## Before you begin

Customer-supplied keys are only supported with Field Encryption Enterprise.

Role required: sn\_kmf.cryptographic\_manager and security\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Security** > **Field Encryption Settings**.

2.  From the Field Encryption Settings, select either **ServiceNow Generated Keys** or **Customer Supplied Keys** from the **Key Source** list.

    \[Omitted image "field-encryption-settings-choices.png"\] Alt text:

    This option changes the `com.glide.encryption.cle_kmf.key_source` property to either **ServiceNow Generated Keys** or **Customer Supplied Keys**.

3.  Select **Save**.


## What to do next

-   If you’re using your own customer-supplied keys, see [Using customer-supplied keys with Field Encryption Enterprise](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-security/csk-landing.md).
-   If you’re using ServiceNow supplied keys, start creating your cryptographic module. See [Create a cryptographic module](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-security/platform-encryption/create-cryptographic-module.md).
