iba data file (DAT file)

With the introduction of ibaPDA version 7, the DAT format used by iba for measurement files has been fundamentally revised and offers, among other innovations, the possibility of encrypting the content.

Various algorithms are used to protect the data from manipulation or unauthorized access. The following is a list of the algorithms used:

• SHA512

• Ed25519

• XChaCha20

• Poly1305

• BTEA

• ARGON2ID13

Note
	If you use the password function to protect your recorded data, keep the password in a safe place. If this password is lost, the recorded data will no longer be accessible. Even iba cannot provide any assistance in this case. We therefore recommend the use of a password manager.
