How strong is protection in Encryption and Decryption?
The program uses AES 256-bit key encryption algorithm. AES provides strong encryption and was selected by NIST as a Federal Information Processing Standard in November 2001 (FIPS-197). Currently, there are no computers that could break the encryption key in a reasonable amount of time (it will take millions of years). A password, or more precisely its hash (SHA 256), is used to protect the encryption key. Neither the password nor its hash is stored anywhere. If the password is not correct, it will be impossible to get the encryption key and consequently to decrypt information.
