Overview

This article provides information related to the type of encryption that is used in the GFI EventsManager exporting tool.

Environment

• GFI EventsManager 2013
• GFI EventsManager 2012

Information

EventsManager uses the TripleDES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) algorithm for encryption. After the export is successful, it will create a file (filename.dat.hash) that contains the hash of the file using three different algorithms:

• MD5 
• SHA1
• SHA256

NOTE: MD stands for Message Digest and SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm.
