CA XCOM Data Transport always protects the password during transmission by using encryption. Prior to r11.6, the password was encrypted using a CA XCOM Data Transport proprietary password encryption algorithm. It consists of 2 key elements (a fixed and a variable element) which are combined to form a symmetric encryption key that is used to encrypt the transmitted password.
With CA XCOM Data Transport r11.6, the encryption cipher used to protect the password during transmission can now be selected using parameters. Permitted ciphers include DES, 3DES, AES, RC2, RC4 and the existing CA XCOM proprietary algorithm.
