is the name that you will use to reference the key.
Make sure to use a name that has not been used for any other
encryption key, and that uses any combination of the numbers 0–9,
lower and upper case alphabetic characters (a–z and A–Z), and the at
sign (@), dash (–), underscore (_), and colon (:) characters. To improve
readability, use an underscore to separate words. Do not use any space
characters.
Each moniker must be a unique string of characters, independent of
case.
Make a habit of using a single case (all upper or all lower) for
monikers. After export, case is ignored, so that keys associated with
the monikers Moniker1, moniker1, and MONIKER1 are interpreted
as a single key. If you have two monikers that are identical except
for case, then you may not be able to retrieve some of your data after
importing such a key.
Note: The actual value of an encryption key is never displayed. The
moniker helps to protect data encrypted using the key by
eliminating the need to display or type the actual key value.
