# Global PRIVATE_LOG_CIPHERTEXT_LEN

Module: `noir_aztec::protocol::constants`

```rust
pub global PRIVATE_LOG_CIPHERTEXT_LEN: u32;
```

A private log's ciphertext is all fields except the first one, which is called 'tag'. We call this 'ciphertext' because, unlike public logs, it is expected that private logs are encrypted (though this is not mandatory).
