Recommendation for password encryption?
by Mariano Martinez Peck Sept. 30, 2022

Sept. 30, 2022

Hi guys. Some time ago I asked about the best way to encrypt a password. Some of the recommendations I got was: 1) Generally for passwords you do not write a decrypt method for security purposes (eg you do not want people to be able to reverse engineer the encrypted password easily) 2) put a little salt 3) There is http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography/PasswordHashingFFI 4) I should not decrypt password but instead I should compare both encrypted versions to see if they are equal. My scenario is the following. I need to store database passwords in text files. So I don't want to let them as plain text. And while I understand 4), I think it's a different scenario than mine. I know that some database driver may allow you to directly send the encrypted password. But still...I have another similar scenario in which I have to store a password and then send it (unencrypted)...so I kind of really need a bi-directional encryption. Now..I would try to avoid having an external library + FFI. Any ideas what is the best thing I can do? And how could I solve 1) if I want bidirectional like in my case? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Updating lists.pharo.org: New server, Mailman3 and more
by Marcus Denker Sept. 21, 2020

Sept. 21, 2020

Hi, We are updating the mailinglists (everything https://lists.pharo.org/ <https://lists.pharo.org/>) -> New server, thus: new IPâ¦ -> the server will run Mailman3 (we used Mailman2) -> There will be a better Archive I will do the change of the IP address today. The only thing that could happen is that mails send still via the old server will not be in the new archive, everything else should be transparent. I will send another mail when it is done. Marcus
