For an additional layer of security, Accumulo can encrypt files stored on
disk. On Disk encryption was reworked

## Configuration
-To encrypt all tables on disk, encryption must be enabled before an Accumulo

data won't be encrypted until compaction. To configure on disk encryption, add
the
-{% plink instance.crypto.service %} property to your `accumulo.properties`
file. The value of this property is the
