Which crypto algorithm? was: Communicator 4.5 stores EVERY

[lsaiz () ATOS-ODS COM (Luis Saiz)]

Hi all,

Does anybody know the algorithm used to encrypt the passwords in
Communicator??

It seems it is stored in 12 bytes base64 independently of clear password
length (almost for less than 9 characters)

TIA,
