+Encryption
+==========
+
+SSHbase can optionally encrypt the private keys that it generates. To
+enable this feature, set the ``passphrase`` option in the
+``[sshbase]`` section of ``bcfg2.conf`` to the name of the passphrase
+that should be used to encrypt all SSH keys. (The passphrases are
+enumerated in the ``[encryption]`` section.) See
+:ref:`server-encryption` for more details on Bcfg2 encryption in
+general.
