Hi james, Ax3.0 use the Dictionary.buildPassword to encrypt the user password. However the class has no decrytion method :D ..... if you're planning to use it to encrypt your customer credit card number the problem you'll face is once you encrpyt the numbers you can't decrypt them to their original value....
