What encryption algorithm and parameters are used?

aero.zip employs robust and modern encryption algorithms to ensure the security and privacy of your files. The primary encryption standard we use is AES-GCM-256, complemented by PBKDF2 (SHA-256 hash algorithm with 600,000 iterations) for key derivation.

In addition to these algorithms, we implement best practices such as using random initialization vectors (IVs) for each encryption operation and employing secure key management techniques. This ensures that even if two files are identical, their encrypted forms will be different.

Encryption and decryption are performed directly in your web browser using the Web Crypto API, which is a standard and secure method for handling cryptographic operations in web applications.

The randomly generated encryption keys never leave your device, and we only store the encrypted data on our servers. This design guarantees that only you and your intended recipients can access the unencrypted files.
