# SRT password encryption in AWS Elemental MediaConnect
<a name="encryption-srt-password"></a>

You can use the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) password encryption option to encrypt sources, outputs and router I/O when using the SRT protocols. SRT protocols are a highly available, low-latency protocol suitable for long-distance applications. You store your encryption password in AWS Secrets Manager, and then you give MediaConnect permission to obtain the encryption password from Secrets Manager.
