ACS Encryption

[michael.k.choffy]

Hello,

Does anyone know what type of encryption is used by ACS 5.8 TACACS when not using the FIPS 140-2 module?  I read that the packets are encrypted, but I didn't find what encryption method is used.

Thanks for your help.

It's a simple MD5 hash.

Hi Marvin, thanks for the quick reply.  In further research, it appears that TACACS+ is not made FIPS 140-2 compliant by the FIPS module.  Do you know if that is correct?

Thanks again.

Michael
