To either allow or deny the encryption of the parameters sent to an URL, and to establish levels of security when the encryption of the parameters is used between Web Objects.

Values

No Indicates that the parameters in the Web objects URL will not be encrypted.This is the default value.
Session key Indicates that the parameters in the URL will be encrypted using a different key for each session.The encryption is made using local cookies.This value offers a higher level of security, but it does not allow shared URLs.This means that user X cannot send a URL with parameters to user Y because, in this case, the URL will not work, since the corresponding cookie is required for decryption.
Site key Parameters in the Web objects URL are encrypted, but the encryption key will be the same for the whole site.In this case, cookies are not used.This implies a lower level of security, but makes links transfers easier.
Use Environment property value
