what is the method of encryption? (e.g. SHA, AES, etc.)
BTW, SHA is not an encryption algorithm. I can generate a hash with any inputs, but there is no way you can revert the process.

It uses AES256 with the number of rounds I believe being dependent upon your hardware (therefore that number would be stored in the wallet itself).
There is also a salt string used (which is presumably from a random source).

I'm using Bitcoin Core 0.9.3. When I encrypt my wallet, what is the method of encryption? (e.g. SHA, AES, etc.) And how many rounds of them?
