## Gossip Encryption
Enabling gossip encryption only requires that you set an encryption key when
starting the Consul agent. The key can be set using the `-encrypt` flag
on `consul agent` or by setting the `encrypt` parameter in a configuration file.
It is advisable to put the key in a configuration file to avoid other users
from being able to discover it by inspecting running processes.
The key must be 16-bytes that are base64 encoded. The easiest method to
obtain a cryptographically suitable key is by using `consul keygen`.
