# Encrypt

Encryption is the process of securing your data using a secret key. The secret key is required to access the encrypted data.

In this action, you can configure the following:

#### Encryption Input:

Set up the data to be encrypted. You can provide this data as a static value or dynamically using the **Dynamic Data Source Selector** popup.

#### Encryption key:

Set up the secret key for encryption. This key will be used to both encrypt and decrypt the data. You can provide the key as a static value or dynamically using the **Dynamic Data Source Selector** popup.
