What password is used for iOS backup encryption?

If Meraki is enforcing backup encryption on an iOS device, what password does it use to encrypt the backup? I can't seem to find this information anywhere!

Hi @MSCICT

 

I believe this option is enforced when backing up the device to a computer via iTunes. It will prompt you to set a password which will then be used to decrypt that backup in the future.
