Thanks to everyone who contributed A one-way hash is not going to work in our case as the perl script is supposed to run in a non-interactive mode. The perl script simply reads the properties file, decrypts the password and then logs into the unix machine. The basic idea was just to slow someone down. I tried using the some of the well known algorthims (such as DES), but found the ciphertext contained non-alphabetic/non-numeric characters. Does anyone know how I can restrict the output to just these chars ? I appreciate doing this is going to make the encryption less secure, but that isn't too important.
