WiFi Profile Notes
<sharedKey>…<protected>
This true/false field indicates if the <keyMaterial> field is encrypted. If you create a WiFi profile from first using "export profile" then the <protected> field will be set to true and the <keyMaterial> field will be encrypted using a key unique to the harware that exported it. To use the profile with other devices you need to change <protected> to false and then enter the password un-encrypted in <keyMaterial>
