Subject: Passwords
Greetings, I keep running into: "To avoid saving the password directly into the XML file, only a hash value of the password is stored." But the value, not surprisingly, is "string." Shouldn't encryption of the password be considered as application specific? Thus: Passwords should not be saved without encryption in the XML file. The encryption to be used is application specific. Which raises the interesting issue of how one indicates what hash/encryption function was used? I am assuming that simply because one ODF comformant application uses a particular hash function, there is no gurantee that another will use the same function. Hope everyone is having a great day!
