What Encryption Algorithm Is Used in SCIEX OS Software 2.1.6?

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Answer

The encryption algorithm used in SCIEX OS software 2.1.6 is the Rijndael algorithm, also known as the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. The Rijndael algorithm is an iterated block cipher that encrypts and decrypts a block of data by the iteration or round of specific transformation. The results table file (.qsession) is encrypted using a block cipher with a padding mode.
