# How Does Luffa Encrypt Data? Luffa provides multi-layered security encryption protection. All messages are encrypted and transmitted using encryption algorithms, ensuring the safety of data during transmission. Whether it's text, media, or files, all data is stored in an encrypted format. Additionally, every session in Luffa is encrypted, with each session requiring a unique private key for decryption. Due to the use of distributed storage, Luffa's files are shard-encrypted and stored on IPFS, further enhancing the security of your data. Luffa itself cannot access or retrieve your data. Our encryption technology includes 256-bit AES symmetric encryption and 2048-bit RSA encryption, providing comprehensive protection for your privacy and data security. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
