# AESKeyFile

The path to the AES key file to use for Knowledge Discovery data encryption.

Setting this parameter turns on encryption for your View component cache. If you change the encryption key, any existing encrypted documents that are stored in the cache become inaccessible and are deleted.

NOTE: You cannot set both AESKey and `AESKeyFile`.

NOTE: You can also enable encryption by using the `-dataencryptionkey` command line parameter when you start the View component. If you use this option, it overrides the `AESKeyFile` setting.

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | DataEncryption
