Headers can make use of the PhixFlow Secret Key Details see below. For more information see HTTP Header/wiki/spaces//wiki/spaces/HELELP12/p12/pagges/9615615932s/9615615932.    

For example,

Secret Key Details

Secret Keys allow sensitive data such as passwords or security tokens to be encrypted and stored in the PhixFlow Database.
