The VPN Key Encryption Settings window appears if the CiscoIOS image on
your router supports Type 6 encryption, also referred to as VPN key encryption.
You can use this window to specify a master key to use when encrypting VPN

these keys will not be readable by someone viewing the router’s configuration file.
Enable VPN Keys Encryption
Check to enable encryption of these keys.
