I am embedding sensitive config values such as API keys inside my Python toolbox script.
To prevent end-user from reading the config values, I am encrypting the toolbox using the built-in encryption option (Right-Click on toolbox -> Encrypt... button)
However, I was not able to find anywhere in the documentation what encryption algorithm is used or how ArcGIS Pro is successfully able to read the toolbox in spite of it being encrypted.
If would be great if I can get help on how strong the encryption is, and the mechanism being used internally.
Additionally, it would be very helpful some advise can be provided on if it is recommended to embed credentials within the toolbox and encrypt it, or any other alternative approach.
Thanks in advance 🙂
