What kind of password encryption does Flux use?

Greetings,

Yeah, so, is it SHA1 or md5?
The reason for asking this is that i have a c++ program that has passwords encrypted in SHA1 and i want to bridge FluxBB with it. Basically a user who has created an account for forum will automatically create a new account in the specified program's mysql database.

Thanks!

Salted sha1 hash.
Specifically:

sha1($salt.sha1($unashed_password))
