Implement a suitable mechanism for rotation of encryption keys in UrbanCode Deploy.

We currently implement UrbanCode Deploy across an estate of around 10,000+ agents. As part of this implementation, we rely heavily on the 'Secure Properties' feature, which uses an AES encryption key.
In the event of a breach or exposure of this key, there is no mechanism in the product to replace this key whilst decrypting and re-encrypting the existing values with a new key.
It is possible to replace the key, but in doing so only newly-encrypted values will use this new key, meaning the old key would have to be retained to access the existing values.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because feasability is low and there is high risk of perfromance issues. However we will keep this as an evfuture enhancement.
