  • 1.  Is Datacap encryption out-of-dated? Is it safe?

    Posted Thu September 08, 2022 11:45 PM
    According to a Red Book "IBM Enterprise Content Management and Box"
    which applies to Datacap 9.0.0,

    "5.2.3 Security
    Datacap uses a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and
    Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128-bit encryption for all authentication and special
    variables."

    AES 128 bit encryption is used.  
    I've been asked by a client if this is safe.
    I am sure AES 256 bit encryption is better, but 128 bit is still safe.
    I already answered "Yes", but I want some more opinion on this.

    Stay on AES128.  Datacap GSKit is not ready for AES 256.  I don't think they updated the GSKit to AES256 yet.

    AES 128 is safe and approved in FIPS, PCI and other standards.
