Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Xanadu to Australia.\n\n**Tip:** If there were no updates for a release notes section in a certain family release, we included a short note for your reference. For example, if a product did not have any updates in Tokyo, the row says \"No updates for this release.\"\n\n## Important information for upgrading Key Management to Australia\n\nBefore you upgrade to Australia, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nXanadu\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **Upgrade information**\n    -   In pre-Zurich releases, the GlideEncrypter API used the three-key Triple Data Encryption Standard \\(3DES\\) encryption standard, which [NIST 800-131A Rev 2](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-131Ar2.pdf) has recommended against using after 2023. The following changes are taking place in the Australia release in preparation for a full deprecation of GlideEncrypter/3DES in the future:\n        -   New Australia instances can’t use GlideEncrypter. All base system scripts have been changed to use alternative encryption processes.\n        -   if you’re upgrading your Australia instances, you can still GlideEncrypter, which has been updated to use AES256-GCM encryption via the Key Management Framework.\n        -   Learn more about 3DES deprecation in [KB1704481](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1704481).\n\n</td></tr></tbody>\n</table>## New features\n\nBetween your current release family and Australia, new features were introduced for Key Management.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nXanadu\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **[Column Level Encryption is now Field Encryption](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=column-level-encryption-landing&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nColumn Level Encryption has been rebranded to Field Encryption Starter \\(FES\\), while Column Level Encryption Enterprise is now Field Encryption Enterprise \\(FEE\\).\n\n-   **[Access observer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=access-observer&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nUse access observer to understand the people and processes that access data on your instance.\n\n-   **[Improved migration process from Edge Encryption to Field Encryption](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=column-level-encryption-landing&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nUse the new process for migration from Edge Encryption to Field Encryption \\(formerly Column Level Encryption\\).
