How does eTrust CA-ACF2 store passwords?

eTrust CA-ACF2 uses the XDES password encryption subroutine (ACSCODEP) which uses a two-step encryption process that transforms the eight-byte password plus a key (TOD clock) into a four- or eight-byte cipher. This encryption process is one-way and irreversible. As a result, the password is never displayed. eTrust CA-ACF2 also uses the ACSCODEP subroutine in its processing. You can substitute your own subroutines in place of the one used by eTrust CA-ACF2.
