Encrypting Messages
CXIO messages can be easily encrypted to protect information, and this is achieved using the lock directive as explained within this guide.
In the example below, we are creating an encrypted cxio file named "confidential.cxio". The AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryptor will be used as specified by lock directive, and properties including password, salt and hash are set as shown.
