# DataEncryption Configuration Parameters

The data encryption section contains settings that determines how Knowledge Discovery encrypts your data.

Knowledge Discovery uses 256-bit AES encryption. You turn on data encryption by setting AESKeyFile to the location of an AES key file.

When you enable encryption, the Content component encrypts:

- document data in the index.
- temporary data in the on-disk index cache.
- value mapping files used by the `parametric`, `match`, and `security` indexes.
- the term dictionary.
- the unstemmed term tree.
- the geospatial index.
- any data sent with index actions that is stored in your index queue before processing.
- stored state tokens that are generated when users run queries with `StoreState=True` (if `StoredStateField` has been set so that document references are used instead of document IDs).

You can determine the encryption status of your index by using the GetStatus action.
