[Imapfilter-devel] Encrypted passwords

[Gabor Z. Papp]

* Lefteris Chatzibarbas <lefcha at users.sourceforge.net>:

| A part of cryptography (including the secure password storage protocol) is
| based on the fact that it costs a lot of cpu power and time to find the
| password (eg. using a 128bits key, with brute-force attack, 2^128 different
| keys must be tried).  By the term "light encryption" (as I understand it)
| you are reffering using a smaller key, which does not get rid of the "hassle"
| of entering the master password, but just weakens the security.

Yupp. When you'll implement a such encryption, you can be
sure I'll use it. But when you implement something that
block the normal usability of imapfilter... Just think about
fetchmail. You would use fetchmail day by day when it would
ask for a password every time?
