public interface EncryptionExit

Encryption Exit Interface for encrypting/decrypting passwords in the DefaultVault. The Credential Vault supports an encryption exit for the Default Vault Adapter. This means that you can plug your own encryption logic by writing a class implementing this interface, plugging this implementation via the defaultvault.properties file and adding the file wp_root/shared/app/defaultvault.properties with the content: encryptionExit=com.yourcompany.credentialvault.YourEncryptionExit. The implementation is optional. There is a default implementation for this interface which is used if no other implementaion is configured.
