Set `config.encrypt_disk_pages = true` to enable. + +**Q: Does encryption work without disk backing?** +A: No, encryption only applies when `use_disk_backing = true` (in-memory mode doesn't need it). + +**Q: Can I use my own encryption key?** +A: Not currently. Keys are auto-generated from OS CSPRNG for maximum security. + +**Q: What happens if the key is lost?** +A: The key exists only in RAM. If the program crashes or exits, the swap file becomes unreadable. This is by design for security. + +**Q: Is the swap file encrypted while the program is running?** +A: Yes, data is written encrypted and remains encrypted on disk until explicitly read back. + +**Q: How does this compare to full-disk encryption (BitLocker, LUKS)?** +A: Full-disk encryption protects at the filesystem level (entire disk). GhostMem encryption protects at the application level (swap file only). Both can be used together for defense-in-depth. + +**Q: Why ChaCha20 instead of AES?** +A: ChaCha20 is faster in software (no AES-NI required), simpler to implement correctly, and provides equivalent security. It's used by Google (TLS), SSH, and WireGuard. + +## Security Auditing + +For security-sensitive applications, consider: +1. Review the ChaCha20 implementation in [`GhostMemoryManager.cpp`](../src/ghostmem/GhostMemoryManager.cpp) +2. Verify CSPRNG usage (`CryptGenRandom` / `/dev/urandom`) +3.
