Question:

What type of encryption is used in compiled exe's?

Is it the same encryption with regular compile versus encrypted with password?

Answer:

All compiler output types are encoded the same way. Encrypted files additionally require a password to run, and EXE's have the encoded output embedded in an executable.

I can't give any real specific information.
