# Create Encrypted Load Balancer

E2E Networks allows users to enable encryption for their Load Balancers to ensure the protection of sensitive traffic and configuration data both at rest and in transit. The encryption mechanism is designed to be fully transparent to the user while maintaining robust security standards. At rest, backend storage used by Load Balancers is encrypted using industry-standard techniques. For data in transit, TLS (Transport Layer Security) ensures that traffic between clients and Load Balancer endpoints remains protected.

**Step 1: Initiate Load Balancer Creation**  

   **1. Login to the MyAccount Portal**  
      • To begin, log in to the E2E Networks MyAccount Portal using your credentials.  


   **2. Create the Encrypted Load Balancer**  
      • Click on **Load Balancer** and then click on **Create New Load Balancer"**.

   **4. Select the Type of **Load Balancer**.**

:::note
     There are basically two tyoes of Load Balanacer 
    * **1. Application Load Balancer (ALB).**
    * **2. Networks Load Balancer (NLB).**

   **10. To Encrypt the Load Balancer select the Enable Encryption checkbox and Encryption should be Enable only during the creation of Load Balancer.**

:::tip

    * Users can enable encryption during the creation of a new Load Balancer.
