Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:48:37 -0400 From: [email protected] Subject: Working with ENCRYPT() function... To: [email protected] ** Is there a known algorithm to calculate the length of the output results of ENCRYPT based on the length of the input string and the encryption key parameters? I vaguely remember that the length is 120. Or is that only the length of the encrypted value in Field 123? Also how would one decrypt the contents of Field 123 if that is used for storing a password that is used for authenticating into an external app or wsdl?
