Password Encoding
In SINTRAN III user passwords are encrypted and stored in a 16-bit word in the user entry. All characters in the password are treated as upper case. The algorithm for encrypting the password is as follows:
init 16-bit word to zero for each character in the string, starting with the leftmost character, do: rotate 16-bit word 3 bits to the left add value of character (7 bits) to 16-bit word done
