| [Customer-managed keys (CMK)](./encryption/cognitive-services-encryption-keys-portal.md) | This feature is for services that store customer data at rest (longer than 48 hours). While this data is already double-encrypted on Azure servers, users can get extra security by adding another layer of encryption, with keys they manage themselves. You can link your service to Azure Key Vault and manage your data encryption keys there. </br></br>You need special approval to get the E0 SKU for your service, which enables CMK. Within 3-5 business days after you submit the [request form](https://aka.ms/cogsvc-cmk), you'll get an update on the status of your request. Depending on demand, you may be placed in a queue and approved as space becomes available. Once you're approved for using the E0 SKU, you'll need to create a new resource from the Azure portal and select E0 as the Pricing Tier. You won't be able to upgrade from F0 to the new E0 SKU. </br></br>Only some services can use CMK; look for your service on the [Customer-managed keys](./encryption/cognitive-services-encryption-keys-portal.md) page.|
