password for SSIS catalog

  • I have a question about the SSIS catalog.
    When I initially create the SSIS catalog, I was asked for a password that is used to encrypt the database master key.
    And When I backup the SSIS database, I need also backup the master key of the SSISDB database, using below syntax: 
     backup master key to file = 'c:\temp\RCTestInstKey' 
           encryption by password = 'LS2Setup!' 

    My question is for the two passwords I highlighted above, are they the same?
    I mean do they mean the same, are they both used for encrypt the master key, or the second is encrypt the backup file?

    Thanks,
