Encryption using encryptPWPortable() and algorithm behind it

Hi All,

Am trying to encrypt a value using encryptPWPortable() which internally uses tools.getPRCrypto().encryptPortable method for encryption. Eventually I would be decrypting it as well(so its not going to be one way hashing)

By default will Pega uses MD5 encryption for this?

MD5 is not secure and hence its been asked to change it to SHA. Appreciate support if some one could help me out with this

Thanks

Hi,

It depends on pega version, please find below algorithms based on the version.

All versions Pega 7 allow for password hashing that uses the MD5, SHA-1, and beginning with version 7.1.7, SHA-256 and SHA-512 hash functions. 
In Pega 7.2.2, the stronger bcrypt hashing algorithm available.
