Abstract
Methods and systems for protecting a password are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a processor selects a set of local configuration data. This can include one or more strings associated with local configuration data. The processor concatenates the set of local configuration data and calculates a hash value of the concatenated data. The processor generates an encrypted string by using the hash value as a key to encrypt the password. Then the processor encodes the encrypted string as a string in a software program. When the password is needed by a first computer system to access a second computer system, the steps are reversed, the password obtained and the first computer system accesses the second computer system.
