In ODF files saved with password encryption, unzip it & look into
<file>/META-INF/manifest.xml for info on type & parameters of the

The Open Document Format has this encryption feature standardized, the
details are available here:

* https://opendocumentformat.org/guidance/security/
* actual standard text:
  https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/cs01/part2-packages/OpenDocument-v1.3-cs01-part2-packages.html#__RefHeading__752811_826425813

Since this is the dev list - the code performing the actual stream
encryption is here:
