Description

The ENCRYPTION_KEY option specifies the key used to encrypt the command file (see COMMAND_FILE_ENCRYPTED).

This key acts much like a password for the encrypted command file in that 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; otherwise, the decryption will fail.

If no key is specified, the default value is used.
