                  <p>The <b outputclass="bold">Disk Encryption</b> tab enables you to encrypt disks that are attached to the virtual machine.</p>
                  <p>To enable disk encryption, select the <b outputclass="bold">Encrypt Disks</b> check box.</p>
                  <p>Settings are available to configure the cipher used for encryption and the encryption password.</p>
                  <note>
                     <p>All files related to the virtual machine except disk images are stored unencrypted. To encrypt these files, use the <userinput>VBoxManage encryptvm</userinput> command as described in <xref href="vmencryption.dita">Encryption of VMs</xref>.</p>
