• The Encrypted File was:
  jul98.vme
   
• YOU MUST SET YOUR REAL-TIME CLOCK 1 MONTH FORWARD TO 09/01/1998 (since we're trying to show another way of using the DLA). After your set the real-time clock to 9/1/1998, decrypt the file using the following parameters. DON'T FORGET TO ROLL BACK YOUR REAL-TIME CLOCK WHEN YOU FINISH DECRYPTING.
   
• The MBK used was: welcome.xls (last months challenge result)
   
• The Source User Name, Target User Name, Description & Passwords are listed in the screen capture! PLEASE TYPE EXACTLY, Case Sensitive.
   
• The Transaction Code was 3786-5924
   
• The Authentication Code is: 5740-7948 (if you got a different one, you've misspelled the passwords, retype and try again!)
   
• The resulting file will be welcome.txt (This is a plain ASCII file).

1. The DLA (Date Limit Algorithm) can be set to ANY date - current, past or future (as in this challenge) - that allows you to further hamper any attempt to decrypt your data by hackers.
    
2. An MBK can be ANY file on your hard drive.
    
3. Passwords can and should be case sensitive.

We used a custom file we created for the MBK (or just about any local file you have).
