Does anyone know of an official Lotus publication which gives details of the algorithms & key sizes used for the different levels of local database encryption?
I found the following in an online report for the Canadian government, which appears to have been reviewed by Lotus (this is for Notes 4.0):
* Simple: produces look-up tables, in order to do a byte-oriented substitution
* Medium: XORs three streams of pseudo-random text strings generated from the plain text database
* Strong: uses an RC4 encryption key to encrypt blocks of the plain text database
(Taken from http://www.cse-cst.gc.ca/en/knowledge_centre/gov_publications/itspsr/cipr18.html)
Can anyone tell me if this is accurate? Or does anyone know where I can get more information on this?
