What type of encryption is used?
The primary encryption algorithms used are the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Cipher Block Chaining mode with either a 128 or 256-bit key for encrypting data on the drive, SHA-1 for generating secure “hashes” or signatures of data used in key management, and the standard IEEE P-1363 implementation of Elliptic Curve Cryptography for public/private key cryptography used in key management.
