Grafana encrypts these secrets before they are written to the database, by using a symmetric-key encryption algorithm called Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and using a [secret key]({{< relref "../administration/configuration/#secret_key" >}}) that you can change when you configure a new Grafana instance.
You can also use envelope encryption, which complements a KMS integration by adding a layer of indirection to the encryption process.
You can choose to use [envelope encryption]({{< relref "./envelope-encryption.md" >}}), which complements a [KMS integration]({{< relref "../enterprise/kms-integration/_index.md" >}}) in Grafana Enterprise by adding a layer of indirection to the encryption process.
In Grafana Enterprise, you can also choose to [encrypt secrets in AES-GCM mode]({{< relref "../administration/database-encryption-enterprise.md" >}}) instead of AES-CFB.
