# HR profile encrypted tax identification fields

HR Service Delivery provides different choices for capturing your employee's tax identification number.

Previously, the **Social Security Number** field could be used to capture your employee's tax ID number, but was not encrypted.

The unencrypted **Social Security Number** is still available for use, but an encrypted field is available for use that provides additional security to sensitive information.

The encrypted **National tax ID \(encrypted\)** field uses the Password2 \(2-way encrypted\) Key Management Framework \(KMF\) encryption.

You can further define the encrypted **National tax ID \(encrypted\)** field by associating a type:

-   ITIN: Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
-   SSN: Social Security Number
-   TIN: Taxpayer Identification Number

And you can provide additional details by associating the country.

**Note:** For more information on how to add the tax identification number for an employee, see [Add or modify an HR profile](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/hr-service-delivery/t_CreateOrModifyAUserProfile.md).
