What type of encryption/algorithm does SFTP uses? I can't find an official document from ServiceNow. Also, what type of encryption is used to encrypt the password in the Data source for SFTP file retrieval method?

Not positive - but hunting doc I did find this:
Assuming the mid-server is using the same or similar to the rest of the platform I'd prioritize maybe by this list?
I've looked, but like you haven't found any other specific doc. Hope this is at least some help?
