Cryptographic specifications

The initial key exchange is performed with elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman. General data exchange is encrypted with AES-GCM. During regular communication payloads are Base64 encoded before being encrypted to prevent delimiter conflicts. SHA-256 hashes of files are compared to ensure data integrity.
