2PVHIKMA is a secret key for machines. It has no passphrase, so computer programs can use it automatically.

3T6XF5DZ is a secret key for humans. It is protected by a passphrase. The passphrase should be saved in a password manager or written on paper, and not kept in the same disk as the key.

4B27CL32 can be used by older versions of BMC to differentiate between generic Msgpack files, and files created by newer versions of BMC. This is in addition to the schema, since older versions won't recognize newer schemas.

MSYZGDBI is a signed certificate. The payload is in the file and may be a public key.
