Not sure what you mean with roaming and stamp number. > I tried seeing if it was ASCII, it's not. From what I remember it has the > word Clarity in it but from there I'm stumped.

OpenDokument are Zip files that contain xml files. When saving with a password, not the zip container is protected, but the individual xml files. The algorithm used is blowfish, which is considered secure. No attacks apart from brute force known. Even when you use the same password to save two otherwise identical documents, the result will be different, as the actual key is initialized with a randomly generated initialization sequence (that is stored in the META-INF/manifest.xml file) - so trying to guess the password by looking at a different document with a similar (but known) password won't work either (won't work when the password was the same either). Only way to recover the document is trying every possible password (thus performing a brute-force attack). Success rate then depends on how much you still know from the password, how many different passwords have to be tried. ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
