¿Qué es el formato de archivo LOCKER?
Un archivo .locker es un archivo cifrado creado por NordLocker, la aplicación de cifrado de archivos de Nord Security, la empresa detrás de NordVPN. La aplicación se lanzó por primera vez en noviembre de 2019. Cada archivo .locker es un contenedor que alberga uno o más archivos y carpetas que ha añadido a un locker, todos sellados juntos como datos cifrados.
NordLocker cifra todo en su dispositivo antes de que salga de él, un enfoque que la empresa denomina cifrado de conocimiento cero (zero-knowledge). Internamente, combina AES-256 con el cifrado XChaCha20-Poly1305, genera claves con Libsodium y deriva su clave secreta de su contraseña maestra utilizando la función Argon2. El resultado es un archivo que parece bytes aleatorios para cualquier persona que no tenga la contraseña.
Seguridad y protección
RIESGO: LOWA .locker file is encrypted data and does not run code on its own, so the file itself is safe to store or move. The real risk is losing access: without the correct master password the contents cannot be recovered, since NordLocker uses zero-knowledge encryption and cannot reset it for you. Only install NordLocker from nordlocker.com to avoid fake or tampered clients.
Detalles del formato
en pocas palabras- App / game lock files - Some applications and games write a plain lock or state file named with a .locker extension to mark a resource as in use; unrelated to NordLocker encryption.
- Ransomware output - Certain ransomware families rename hostage files with a .locker suffix. These are not NordLocker archives and cannot be opened by it.

especificación profunda| Encoding | Proprietary encrypted container |
| Container | Single encrypted archive holding one or more files and folders imported into a locker |
| Compression | None documented; the format is built for encryption rather than size reduction |
| Encryption | AES-256 (AES-256-GCM) for file data combined with XChaCha20-Poly1305; key wrapping uses the user's master password |
| Key Derivation | Argon2 derives the secret key from the salted, hashed master password |
| Signing | Ed25519 (EdDSA) used for authentication within the scheme |
| Asymmetric | 4096-bit RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) used in the key hierarchy |
| Crypto Library | Libsodium generates a random 256-bit key that is then encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305 |
| Architecture | Client-side, zero-knowledge encryption; files are encrypted on the device before any cloud sync |
| Typical size | Varies with the imported content, from kilobytes to many gigabytes |
| Structure | A locker is an encrypted folder-like container. Files and folders are added into it, and the whole locker is stored and synced as encrypted data. |
| Integrity | Poly1305 authentication tags protect against tampering and corruption |
| Platforms | Windows, macOS |
| Notes | NordLocker pairs local encryption with optional end-to-end encrypted cloud storage. Free accounts include a set amount of cloud space; larger quotas require a paid plan. The password is required to decrypt; there is no vendor recovery of forgotten master passwords. |
