 Encryption types
 ================
 
 Windows 2000 supports both the standard DES encryptions (des-cbc-crc and
 des-cbc-md5) and its own proprietary encryption that is based on MD4 and
 rc4 that is documented in and is supposed to be described in
 `draft-brezak-win2k-krb-rc4-hmac-03.txt'.  New users will get both MD4
 and DES keys.  Users that are converted from a NT4 database, will only
 have MD4 passwords and will need a password change to get a DES key.
 
 Heimdal implements both of these encryption types, but since DES is the
 standard and the hmac-code is somewhat newer, it is likely to work
 better.
