Account Configuration Files

Account Configuration Files

The generated account configuration files contain sensitive information (i.e. client credentials and the refresh token) and are therefore stored in an encrypted way.

There are two options to encrypt account configurations:

  • via gpg-agent
  • password-based

All encryption (except gpg-based) done in the oidc-agent project is done through the libsodium library, which is also used by software such as Discord, RavenDB, or Wire.

The encryption uses an XSalsa20 stream cipher.
