encryption Q

which encryption algorithm is used by Libreoffice?  Neither Libreoffice nor Google seem to be my friend.

Is it different by OS?
Is it different by type of file (write, calc, etc?)
Can the base databases be encrypted, like a calc file?

thanks,
John

The specific blog post is "LibreOffice & Apache OpenOffice Password
Recovery"

Neither Libreoffice nor Google seem to be my friend.

As a search engine, Google is highly overrated.

​Aside from reading the source code, a good place to look would be the
specification of the file format; for example:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part3.html#__RefHeading__752811_826425813
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_technical_specification#Encryption

Reading more of these would probably provide an answer about the database
files.
