Data encryption
When you send a file through FileSender, you can encrypt it with end-to-end password protected encryption. This ensures that only someone who possesses the password can read the file.
Encryption used
FileSender supports full end-to-end encryption using AES-GCM with PBKDF2 to protect the integrity of encrypted files. This ensures the information you encrypt is exactly the same when it is decrypted. Once data is encrypted in your browser, it cannot be intercepted and modified without FileSender detecting the change when it decrypts the files and halting the process.
Note: If you’ve enabled encryption when sending files, you must record the password that you used. FileSender uses this to encrypt the files, and without it, the recipient won’t be able to read the files. If you lose this password, your only option is to resend the files; AARNet Support cannot help you to decrypt the files.
