Re: Encryption algorithm used for the IBMi OS passwords.

I have auditors that are being persistent and are inquiring about the
encryption algorithm that
is used for the IBMi OS at the various password levels?

We are running our IBMi's at 7.1 and a password level of 3.

I searched the archive forums and founds some older information but
nothing current.
I see older info pointing to the use of sha-1 (160 bit) but assume that it
may have changed at 6.1 or higher.

I assume IBM does not make the algorithm public but it would be nice to
give the auditors some information.

Does any body have any more current information?

Jim
