Having failed to find anything meaningful using Google, I wonder whether anyone knows, or can point me at, some information about what encryption is used by Sage Payroll when it is set to send a payslip as an attachment to a trusting employee...
Thanks!
Thanks!

Does it get sent as a pdf document where you have to enter a password to open it?
If so it will either be AES 128 bit or 256 bit. I can't find what strength Sage uses, and from watching a video on youtube it doesn't look like there is an option in Sage to select. Not 128 and 256 bit versions are secure though. No need to worry.0 -
Thanks - I haven't even found in what format the document is sent - but PDF sounds a pretty good bet.
Sage seem to be doing the usual "security by obscurity"!0 -
If it is pdf then Google "pdf password remover".
There's a few out there that will do the job for free.0
