Ok, it's a good explaination for me : password is encrypted in the file and binary file (backup) is encrypted (again) with other way.

It's hard to compare it like that.

PKCS5 is used to derive an 256 bit encryption key from your password. AES is then used to encrypt your backup file.

I use the save of bitcoin android wallet and send to my proper adress.
For that ( because i can loose or damage my android device), i use a password (asked by the app).

What is the level of this password ... ?
It's the same as the bitcoin network (sha256 ?)

thanks Smiley
