Description Robert Simmons 2011-06-27 19:51:04 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

Allow users to choose a different algorithm on their own if they want to have a stronger algorithm than the default.  Most other software that uses encryption allows the user to change to a stronger algorithm (geli providers in FreeBSD, OpenSSH, OpenSSL, GnuPG), so if I want to store the passphrases for those systems in KWallet, it makes KWallet the weakest link.

Reproducible: Always


Actual Results:  
KWallet uses blowfish156 and SHA-1.

Expected Results:  
KWallet should either switch the default to AES256/SHA256 or at least allow the user to choose on her own.

Partly covered by GPG wallets, other than that pretty much the same as Bug 444252.
