Sebbo.... the word you looking for is SYMMETRICAL encryption....
I think Sun has an Class... cant remember.
Anyway have a look at things like DES... and the one I like IDEA.
You can read up on all that stuff and I'm pretty sure you will find java implementations.

I did have this all coded a long time ago... but I dont know where I put it off hand.
Probably better to use a Sun lib anyway...

Subject: Re: User-password from the HttpServletRequest


I saw, that I can get the password via the Principle: The Tomcat server has his own implementation of Principle: GenericPrinciple which holds all the stuff (pw, roles, etc).

I know the problem with the changing of password, but thats not the main probelm now ;-)

Does somebody know a good encryption/decryption algorithm wich works only with a password (String)?
