    Hi all,
    
    Does anybody know the algorithm used to encrypt the passwords in
    Communicator??
    
    It seems it is stored in 12 bytes base64 independently of clear password
    length (almost for less than 9 characters)
    
    TIA,

    Crypto can't create trust.  It merely automates the trust that
    already exists for other reasons.
