Mark, I'm not absolutely sure what kind of DES is used, and telling true
do not care too much. I think you should not worry about implementing ti
in Java client - it anyway adds absolutely no security compared with
sending clear password over the wire. And I will fix FB3 to accept it.

It's much more useful to decide what to do with SRP. And (taking wider
look at it) - will it be possible to load client parts of plugins by
Java client?
