# Private Key Storing

How your private keys are encrypted and stored within Lootbot.

While users generate new wallets using Lootbot, their private keys are stored in an encrypted format using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to prevent unauthorized access. 

Within LootBot, AES operates on fixed-size blocks of data and uses a secret key for both encryption and decryption.

Details about our AES is well explained in this [X thread](https://twitter.com/lootbot_xyz/status/1680875427857047553?s=20).<br>
