Detailed explanation of AoxVPN encryption technology

The core of VPN is encryption. If the encryption is not strong enough, using a VPN is useless. Today let’s talk about how strong the 256-bit ECC encryption used by AoxVPN is.

What is ECC

ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) is currently the most advanced public key encryption algorithm. Compared with traditional RSA encryption, ECC has shorter keys and faster speeds at the same security level. The security strength of 256-bit ECC is equivalent to 3072-bit RSA.

Why ECC is better

  • Shorter keys = faster handshakes
  • Lower computational overhead = better performance
  • With the same level of security, ECC is more than 10 times more efficient than RSA
Aox VPN encryption scheme

Aox accelerator uses a combination of WireGuard protocol + ECC encryption:

  • Data transmission: ChaCha20 encryption (stream encryption, extremely fast)
  • Key exchange: Curve25519 ECDH (a type of ECC)
  • Message authentication: Poly1305 (anti-tampering)

This combination is currently recognized as the best solution in the VPN field. 256-bit ECC cannot be cracked by brute force under existing computing power, and the threat of quantum computers is still far away.

Encryption technology is the cornerstone of Aox VPN. Go to the official website for more technical details.
