Symantec Endpoint Encryption and Symantec Encryption Desktop hashing algorithm

Dear All,

Read from the following post:

http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/status-syma...

that SED is still available. Also learnt that in order to get SED, the SEE license will be needed.

I actually need to function of SED (to create a virtual drive and encrypt it). However, I can only find in some old documentation that the highest hashing algorithm that SED supports is SHA-1. May I know whether this is still the case please? May I also know the hashing algorithm used for SEE? Is there any documentation that states when SHA-1 will be replaced by another algorithm?

Grateful if anyone could shed some light on this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Lok Koo
