ENCRYPTION_KEY - UECLoad configuration option

Description

The ENCRYPTION_KEY option specifies the key used to encrypt the command file specified by the COMMAND_FILE_ENCRYPTED option.

This key acts much like a password for the encrypted command file in that it can be used to protect the file from decryption by unauthorized users.

If a key was used to encrypt a command file (when Universal Encrypt was run), that same key must be specified to decrypt the file, or the decryption will fail. If no key is specified, the default key is used.
