> Dimitry, could you please tell me your view of the encryption issue? 1. TrippleDES is not compatible with previously saved maps. 2. SingleDES corresponds to 56 bit long keys. If the passwords are built with alphabet letters and digits only (ca 64 different characters => 6 bits pro character), passwords up to length of 9 are covered: by a brutal force attack the short passwords length seems to be the main risk. We could however introduce a option of using the TrippleDES as an additional feature, which still has to be specified and implemented. Personally I have no interest in it. Best regards, Dimitry |
