String
No key is provided.
Used only when you create a database.
If a database is created using an encryption key, the database file is strongly encrypted using the AES 128-bit algorithm, which is the same algorithm used to encrypt Adaptive Server Anywhere databases. Use of strong encryption provides security against skilled and determined attempts to gain access to the data, but may have a significant performance impact.
