The @EncryptionKey password is not encrypted- It is a raw key string (It will be hashed with MD5 for the chosen encryption level) The @jobp value is encrypted using 192-bit Triple DES and an internal 40 character key (hashed with MD5) The encrypted value is made viewable with a Base64 text transform.
