### What security technology does Firefox Lockbox use?
### What security technologies does Firefox Lockbox use?

When you protect Firefox Lockbox with a Firefox Account, Firefox Lockbox uses [AES256-GCM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois/Counter_Mode) encryption, a tamper-resistant block cipher technology, to protect your data.
Firefox Lockbox uses the following technologies to protect your data:

* [AES-256-GCM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois/Counter_Mode) encryption, a tamper-resistant block cipher technology.
* [onepw](https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server/wiki/onepw-protocol) protocol to sign into Firefox Accounts and obtain encryption keys.
* [PBKDF2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2) and [HKDF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HKDF) with [SHA-256](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2) to create the encryption key from your Firefox Accounts username and password.

All of this is done on your device, so Mozilla cannot know your password and cannot read your data.
