### Current Encryption Algorithm: `AES-256-GCM`
Currently, backups use the `AES-256-GCM` encryption algorithm. While this is a highly secure option, it does have a file size limitation of 64 GiB. This isn't an issue when working with Amazon S3, as the data is split into smaller blocks, making it fully compatible with the platform.

In addition, this algorithm is fully compliant with [ANSSI guidelines (in French)](https://cyber.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/2021/03/anssi-guide-selection_crypto-1.0.pdf).
