## Add an Encryption key

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the Products menu and select **DevOps Secret Manager**.
2. On the side menu, select **Encryption > Encryption keys**.
3. Click the **Add** button.
4. On the **Ass encryption key** screen, fill in the following fields:
  - **Name***: name of the cryptographic key.
  - **Encryption algorithm***: choose the encryption algorithm.
  - **Expiration date**: key expiration date and time.
  - **Active**: check to enable the key.
  - **Description**: description associated with the key.
5. Click **Save**.

## View Encryption key details
