Che cos'è il formato di file LOCKER?
Un file .locker è un archivio crittografato creato da NordLocker, l'app di crittografia dei file di Nord Security, l'azienda dietro NordVPN. L'app è stata lanciata per la prima volta nel novembre 2019. Ogni file .locker è un contenitore che ospita uno o più file e cartelle aggiunti a un locker, tutti sigillati insieme come dati crittografati.
NordLocker crittografa tutto sul tuo dispositivo prima ancora che venga inviato, un approccio che l'azienda definisce crittografia «zero-knowledge». Sotto il cofano combina AES-256 con il cifrario XChaCha20-Poly1305, genera chiavi con Libsodium e deriva la tua chiave segreta dalla tua password principale utilizzando la funzione Argon2. Il risultato è un file che appare come byte casuali a chiunque non possieda la password.
Sicurezza e incolumità
RISCHIO: 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.
Dettagli del formato
in sintesi- 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.

specifiche approfondite| 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. |
