Field Name Description Profile Name Enter the name of the profile you want to create Version This field displays the current version number of the Configuration Profile. Comment Enter a description for this package. You can optionally leave this field blank. Encryption Type Simple: Simple encryption uses a SOTI algorithm to encrypt the data before generation the barcode. This option creates the smallest footprint for the barcode. It is the default option and recommended if enhanced security is not required.
AES256 Fixed Password:
Encrypts data with AES256 algorithm. This option uses a fixed password and the barcode will be able to read by ANY device having the MobiScan Agent.
AES256:
Encrypts data with AES 256 algorithm. When using this option, you must enter password to generate the barcode. This password will then be required by the end user to configure the device.Password If AES256 Encryption is used, enter a password to generate the barcode. This password will then be required by the end user to configure the device. Click on Next to continue
