For sharing records out with Triple DES as the encryption method, based on a review with ServiceNow, a JavaScript library is used in the new version to encrypt with Triple DES and will be backwards compatible with the DataSync Agent and meshlets so you will not have to upgrade the Agent or meshlet.

Warning
  • You will need to upgrade your Perspectium application before Xanadu is released since we will need to use the GlideEncrypter API to migrate your properties over to using the new approach. The GlideEncrypter API is needed to access your current encryption key and MBS credentials from ServiceNow's backend to save back into the system in the password2 field types.
Info
  • Because this is a third-party library, the performance will be considerably slower than using GlideEncrypter. Since Triple DES as a security encryption standard is recommended to no longer be used (and the reason ServiceNow is removing GlideEncrypter) per NIST-800-131A, this library is used to provide legacy Triple DES support. It is recommended you change to use a more secure encryption method like AES-128 or AES-256.
  • If you were previously using the Perspectium Core application with your properties stored in the sys_properties table, this approach  (a non-standard
