to store credentials. These credentials usually consists of username and
passwords but can also contain some other fields. Then these credentials can be
used to connect external systems like PerformancePoint Services, BCS, Excel
Services, Visio Services etc..

Stored Services it will ask you generate a new encryption key. This key will be
used to encrypt and decrypt credentials stored in Secure store.
