Is there any official documentation that specifies the encryption specification used by FME desktop to store passwords (e.g. ORACLE connection string passwords)? Specifically what encryption algorithms and keys length combinations are available?
Only a few combination are acceptable to the Australian Federal Government. This is required for my organisation security section to sign off on the future use of FME.

Hi @marcusblake FME uses AES 128 bit encryption to store passwords. If you'd like the option of other encryption types then please post that at https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/list.html

For your info...here's a reference to the Australian Government Information Security Manual.
"The approved symmetric encryption algorithms are AES128, AES192, AES256, and 3DES (page 242): https://acsc.gov.au/publications/Information_Security_Manual_2017_Controls.pdf

And a related question... for the same Australian Security requirements, can you please advise which algorithm is being used for FME Server "Restricted" mode security?

Hi @nic_ran
FME Server System Encryption uses AES algorithm with 128bit encryption.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
