Critical Description
We understand that WASCE use AES to encrypt the password. You do
javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance("AES") and init() with a hard-coded key.
This key is same for all the WASCE server instances. Anyone getting access to a downloaded version of the software can have the algorithm and decrypt the password. So we need your urgent help on the following:
1. provide a solution with key management that we can control
2. provide a pluggable encryption solution so that we can use our internal algorithms and key management
At least,
3. the key should be dynamically generated in each of the installations that would reduce the ability to decrypt to someone who has access to the server.
