                  <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">Enable Disk Encryption</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>.
