Hello,

What's issue are you getting when using tFTPConnection component?

Though there are different ways to manage passwords in talend, Globally talend use PGP(Pretty Good Privacy ) encryption and classic Hash MD5,SHA-1(Secure Hash Algorithm -1) algorithm for encryption and decryption accordingly.

Hi

I actually don't have an issue at the moment; the security team want to know what cipher is being used.

You've answered my question - MD5,SHA-1, Thanks!

Out of interest, where in the documentation is this stated?

Hello,

So far, there is no official documentation shared to community users about How talend encrypt the passwords.

Here is an article about: How to configure GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) and create a encrypted file
