Why is data encrypted?
The IDA splits data into multiple pieces, each of which is smaller than the original file, this process is not “cryptographically” secure, meaning some information is contained in each slice and leaks details about the original file content. Therefore, to prevent this information leak one’s data will be encrypted AND dispersed, additionally the data can be “transposed” before going though the IDA which ensures that no contiguous encrypted data appears in any of the slices.
