Encrypting Passwords

EFT Server provides the following password-encryption features:

Use a two-way TwoFish encryption cipher on passphrases that must be reversible.
Use a one-way hash for passphrases that do not need to be reversible.
Encrypt all passwords used in the following areas:
- ClientFTP.dll client authentication
- Authmanager.dll for AD, ODBC, and LDAP authentication
- PGP private key passphrases
- ARM connection string password

PCI DSS requirement 8.4 states that you should encrypt all passwords during transmission and storage on all system components.
