Of course. The final result looks like SHA-1, but several operations could take place before - DES, etc. At the end it is a cryptographic operation. The corect question would be - how are the passwords hashed, and potentially encrypted, for RACF passworh phrases?

Sorry if I'm being pedantic, but SHA-1 is not an encryption algorithm - it is a cryptographic hash function. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 9:09 AM, Costin Enache <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Does anybody have a clue how the > PASSPHRASE is encrypted in RACF?
