The exact method of this encryption is described on the <a href="/docs/internals/security.html">encryption internals page</a>.</p> <h2 id=toc_1>Enabling Encryption</h2> <p>Enabling encryption only requires that you set an encryption key when starting the Serf agent. The key can be set using the <code>-encrypt</code> flag on <code>serf agent</code> or by setting the <code>encrypt_key</code> 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 <code>serf keygen</code>.</p> <pre><code>$ serf keygen
|
|
cg8StVXbQJ0gPvMd9o7yrg==
|
|
</code></pre> <p>With that key, you can enable encryption on the agent. You can verify encryption is enabled because the output will include "Encrypted: true".</p> <pre><code>$ serf agent -encrypt=cg8StVXbQJ0gPvMd9o7yrg==
