Encryption

NameValue
ENCRYPTION_KEYThis is the key used for the application encryption. I reccommend changing this as if you keep the default a hacker can more easily reverse any encrypted data or guess secret keys.

Default: "ChangeMe"
ENCRYPTION_SALTThis is the salt used for the application encryption. I reccommend changing this as if you keep the default a hacker can more easily reverse any encrypted data or guess secret keys.

Default: "ChangeMe"
ENCRYPTION_ITERATIONSThis is the number of encryption passes to run. The more the better but be warned more passes means more processing and performance losses.

Default: 1000
note

Encryption is used to mask values from bad actors. It is used for things like securing passwords and secret gallery keys. If anyone was to gain access to your DB file they would not be able to read its values as they are stored with non-reversable encryption details you specify here.

ENCRYPTION_KEY is the base encryption value used to calculate the output.

ENCRYPTION_SALT is a string used to randomise the encryption and can also be any value.

ENCRYPTION_ITERATIONS is simply the number of encrpytion passes to take. The more passes the further your password is from the input. But be careful you want a balance here as more passes means more time/resources.
