page 62 says this:

To encrypt system passwords, Windchill and Info*Engine code uses a JCEKS KeyStore class in conjunction with a password-based encryption. JCEKS KeyStore is a strong version of the Sun KeyStore class implementation. The Sun KeyStore implementation is standard with the Java SE Development Kit (JDK).
