What encryption method and strength is the password in the metabas

Does anyone know the method and strength IIS encrypts the anonymousUserName
password in the metabase.xml?

Thanks!

Re: What encryption method and strength is the password in the metabas

The current Window machineKey is used to encrypt the data. Not sure what
algorithm is used (one of the symmetric algorithms) or what key length.
