Apart from the files stored within the ``keys`` and ``data`` directories, all files are encrypted with AES-256 in counter mode (CTR). The integrity of the encrypted data is secured by a Poly1305-AES message authentication -code (sometimes also referred to as a "signature"). +code (MAC). Files in the ``data`` directory ("pack files") consist of multiple parts which are all independently encrypted and authenticated, see below.
