The data types Crypto, and CryptoX are used to encrypt passwords and other types of confidential information. The Java™ Cryptography Extension (JCE) is used to perform encryption.
JCE can use variables to transform the input data into encrypted data. By default, the DESede encryption algorithm and its defaults are used for the other values. Crypto and CryptoX use the DESede encryption algorithm.
