   Field	Description
   Name	Unique name for protection policy.
   Key	Name of the key.
   Tweak	Tweak data to be used in cryptographic operations. This field is mandatory if tweak algorithm is specified. If tweak algorithm is NONE, specify 16 characters HEX encoded string.
   Tweak algorithm	Tweak algorithm to be used in cryptographic operations. Possible options — SHA1 — SHA256 — NONE
   IV	Initialization vector to be used in cryptographic operations. This field is mandatory if the algorithm is AES/GCM. The value must be a HEX encoded string.
   Algorithm	Algorithm to be used in cryptographic operations.
   Character Set	Name of the character set. Refer to Creating Character Sets for details.
   Allow null or single character inputs	Select the checkbox to allow null and single character inputs pass through untransformed. If this checkbox is not selected, row transformation fails for the single character values. This field is only applicable in case of FPE and FF1 algorithms.

5. Click Create. A message stating, Protection policy created successfully is displayed and the newly created policy is listed on the Protection Policies page.
