TextDecrypterBean (org.refcodes:refcodes-security-ext-spring 1.3.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.refcodes.security.ext.spring.TextDecrypterBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<java.lang.String>
```
public class TextDecrypterBean
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<java.lang.String>
```
The sole purpose of the bean is not to store any passwords in clear text in a text file. It decrypt any encrypted passwords with a hard coded SEED. This means that any hacker decompiling the code will be able to gain knowledge on how to create plain text from the encrypted passwords in a configuration file. Additional measures have to be undertaken in order to restrict access to the program codes or configuration files by any intruder. The password itself is stored as a byte array, so it is not stored as clear text in the class files neither. Any further obfuscation has not been approached as in the end it will not provide any further security due to the fact that the password must be accessible somehow and automatically be decryptable by program code.
ATTENTION: This bean just provides support for not storing any passwords in clear text!
