WCS 5 encryption parameters
|
|
|
| The WCS 5.5 Security Guide says triple DES is the encryption algorithm used. Algorithms of this type (symmetric, block based) have parameters (initialization vector, mode) that can change the encrypted text and can effect the speed and strength of the en
cryption. Does anybody know where these values can be specified or if they are fixed, what they are?

| Have you searched through the WebSphere Commerce newsgroup for
suggestions? A quick search using google groups shows:
http://groups.google.com/group/ibm....7c1483ea860d711
This posting has several suggestions including using
com.ibm.commerce.util.nc_crypt.decrypt(EncipheredMerchantKey,
null).trim(); to obtain the key. I'm not sure if this is applicable
for the version of WCS that you are on.

Checkout nc_crypt.class and nc_cryptx.class.
