java.lang.Object
  ise.antelope.tasks.PasswordHandler

public class PasswordHandler
extends java.lang.Object

Simple class to encode and decode passwords. The encrypted password is a base-64 encoded string, so it's suitable for storage in a properties file or where ever a string might be stored. This class could be used for larger strings than passwords, but all I need is an easy way to store passwords in a file.
