<encrypt>

The encrypt option indicates whether to create files with encryption enabled or disabled. When enabled, files are masked using the Data Camouflage technique or with the type of advanced encryption specified.

Note: If your configuration file does not include an <encrypt> element, the application can still create files with encryption enabled if the application explicitly requests encryption. If you include the <encrypt> attribute in the configuration file, the setting will override the programmatic requests from the application.
