FWZ only supports 40bit obscuration  (40bit are no key for encryption to be named
such any more) and an authentication scheme with a SERIOUS design hole (just send
back identical challenge and hash as you got from the FW - and you are authorized) -
so it is highly advised not to use FWZ.

FWZ is a proprietary Checkpoint protocol, so no luck here - sorry.
