Using CRYPT-PW with the RADb


Table of contents

Generate Password

To generate your encrypted password please use our online Crypt Calculator

Your password should NOT BE A DICTIONARY WORD.

Encrypted passwords are vulnerable to simple dictionary attacks.

For example enter

R!A?.d%B

into the Crypt Calculator it will output the following

Your clear text password: R!A?.d%B
Your encrypted password: pfWf.67ZNXpdk

Please be sure to note as you will need the encrypted password to modify the maintainer object and the clear text password to sign your [email protected] object submissions.

Submit Objects

Now add objects to MAINT-FRAZIER using CRYPT-PW authentication. At the beginning of the message body place the password attribute followed by your plain text password.

The password is only specified once but works to authorize any number of objects in your submission.

password: R!A?.d%B
