This item is used to limit the range of encryption algorithms used for LCOSCap connections. The Simple algorithm uses the cleartext password as the basis for key derivation, while the other two algorithms use an encrypted password as the basis, which is encrypted with either SHA-256 or SHA-512. Simple must remain enabled for communicating with LCOS or LCOSCap versions before LCOS 10.40.
Important: Note that the algorithm selection must be consistent with the selected password encryption algorithm: For
example, if SHA-512 is used to encrypt admin passwords (see 2.11.89.2 Crypto-Algorithm) and cleartext passwords are
not stored (see 2.11.89.1 Keep-Cleartext), SHA-512 must not be deactivated here, otherwise the device cannot be
reached via LL2M.
