Note regarding passwords encryption and decryption
All the encryption and decryption of passwords in XpoLog are based on JCE (Java Cryptography Extension). The default encryption/decryption is using “DES” algorithm with SUN JCE Provider that uses ECB as the default mode and PKCS5 Padding (this is configurable in XpoLog).

Available encryption algorithms:

- DES: 56 bits
- Triple DES: 112 bits
- Blowfish: 56 bits
- HmacMD5: 64 bytes
- HmacSHA1: 64 bytes
