Encrypt a message value using a static key.
The static key must be a secret reference to a 256-bit (32-byte) base64-encoded string, or the key itself as a string. We recommend using secret references to avoid exposing sensitive data in your configuration.
A static key named my-static-key.
A corresponding Decrypt policy.

eventGatewayName: The name of your Event Gateway.
virtualClusterName: The name of the Virtual Cluster.
