For security reasons and to ensure unfeasibility of password decryption, user passwords are encrypted using a one-way hashing algorithm.
BIC stores only the hash values in the database to authenticate the user.
The following hashing algorithms are available.
-
SHA-256 (default value)
-
SHA-512
Note: If the hashing algorithm is changed, the system updates the database with the recalculated
hash value as soon as the user logs in to a BIC application.
