- the file is encrypted with a master key
- the master key is encrypted with one or several passwords
- passwords can be added to or removed from the list
- a hmac of the file is written at the beginning of the file
- passwords can be checked/updated without having to read/write the whole file
- the GUI assumes a single password
- partial writes: encrypted blobs are appended at the end of the file each blob is prefixed by its length can recover from incomplete write: hmac is updated after appending
