• Adding key with a .key file.
The .key file is a plain text file in which each line represents a key unless the line starts with "#". The
"#" symbol is used to denote comments. Each valid key line has the following format:
<128-bit hexadecimal key>
# This is an example key file
key1 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF
1. Enable the Use key file checkbox.
2. Click Open and add the desired .key file and click Open again.
3. Under Key entry part, the key contained in the .key file will be selected in the drop-down list.

16.In the Convert Programming Files dialog box, click OK. The
.ekp and encrypted configura‐
tion file will be generated in the same project directory.
Note: For dual configuration
.pof
file, both
.sof
file need to be encrypted with the same key.The
generation of key file and encrypted configuration file will not be successful if different keys are
used.
