Information About Secure Storage
Secure Storage feature allows you to secure critical configuration information by encrypting it. It encrypts
asymmetric key-pairs, pre-shared secrets, the type 6 password encryption key and certain credentials. An
instance-unique encryption key is stored in the hardware trust anchor to prevent it from being compromised.
By default, this feature is enabled on devices that come with a hardware trust anchor. This feature is not
supported on devices that do not have hardware trust anchor.
