Data Encryption In Qlik Sense Enterprise

Hello
I have a requirement in the company I work for to protect / encrypt QVF files as well as QVD files
So if a QVD file is consumed by developers other than the ones in Team1, the reading should fail

Also if a QVF file is exported and then imported to another Qliksense server the import should fail too.
I know that encryption is available in Qlik Sense enterprise:

but if someone can help me with an example as encryption needs an Encryption Key

@Maria_Halley
I managed to create a certificate and encryption was enabled on our Qlik Sense server successfully
but I noticed that this encryption is helpful if someone tries to read the QVD file in another Qlik sense server machine , the read fails

but what i want is to prevent developers outside Team1 from consuming QVD a group of QVD files
and that only members of Team1 can consume those QVD files

kindly advise on how to accomplish this requirement
