Specification

Data is encrypted using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a 128 bits key. That key is derived from a password you choose. The derivation method used is PBKDF2 (Password Based Key Derivation Function 2). The actual key is never synchronized; it can only be derived using the password you chose.
