Instructions for encrypting passwords
If the transcription type transport encryption is enabled, the entire outgoing data stream
is encrypted. When using Password encryption, however, only the passwords of user
accounts are encrypted in XML requests.
A subset of the W3C standard XML encryption is used to encrypt passwords. An
<EncryptedData> container replaces the password with the XML namespace "http://
www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#" . This container includes the <CipherData> container,
which inlcudes the <CipherValue> container:
NOTE: In XML requests, passwords can either be encrypted (recommended) or in
plain text when sent to the device.
