Apple Encrypted Archive is a proprietary archive format that can compress, encrypt, and/or sign a file. Its magic number is the 4 ASCII characters "AEA1".
macOS Monterey ships an aea command line tool that can create and extract (decrypt) these archives (see aea manpage).
There are also functions in libAppleArchive.dylib to create and extract them.
It's notably used since iOS 15 for signed .shortcut files created in Shortcuts.
