How a single XML file would store configuration setting for different packages?

SQL Server table satisfies both requirements of the question, i.e.:
1. Include multiple properties in a configuration.
2. Support several packages with different configuration settings.
Although you can use XML to save configuration for multiple packages but good practice would be to have separate config files for each package or project. If you want to use a single place to store multiple packages configurations, I would choose SQL Server table.

XML configuration files are not secured; they can be opened and read with any text editor. The answer is SQL Server table… meets all requirements PLUS controlled access to the configuration details.
