### How does the profile encryption work?

74
Profile files are encrypted on disk using [AES](https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.aes?view=net-6.0){:target="\_blank"} with a key size of 256 bits and a block size of 128 bits in CBC mode. The encryption key is derived from a master password using [Rfc2898DeriveBytes](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.rfc2898derivebytes?view=net-5.0){:target="\_blank"} (PBKDF2) with 1,000,000 iterations. At runtime, passwords are stored as [SecureString](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/api/system.security.securestring?view=net-5.0){:target="\_blank"} once the profile file is loaded. For some functions, the password must be converted to a normal string and remains unencrypted in memory until the garbage collector cleans them up. If you found a security issue, you can report it [here](https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager/security/policy){:target="\_blank"}!
