Cryptomator uses AES-256 standard encryption and WebDAV and relies on its open-source model for software verifiability, trust and bug fixing.[6] The software encrypts each file individually.[7]
History
In 2017, Cure53 audited the software.[8][9] Cryptomator was lauded for its high degree of robustness in cryptographic implementation, but criticized use of AES in insecure ECB mode. Tobias Hagemann, however, said this was a false positive.[9]
In December 2021, Cryptomator 2.0 was released for iOS, which was rewritten in Swift and integrated with the native iOS Files app.[10][11]
In January 2022, an update was released for a bug that leaked file path to Apple, because of the integration with Apple's file and use of File Provider Extension API.[12]
Reception
Cryptomator received the CeBIT innovation award in 2016 for "Usable Security and Privacy".[13][14]
