So here is what an encrypted file layout looks like:
<table>
<tr>
<th align="left">Magic bytes</th>
<td>4 bytes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="left">Salt</th>
<td>64 bytes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="left" rowspan="3">Argon2 parameters</th>
<td>Time cost: 4 bytes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Memory cost: 4 bytes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Parallelism cost: 1 byte</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="left">Encryption cipher</th>
<td>1 byte</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="left">Ciphertext</th>
<td>Exact same size as the plaintext</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="left">HMAC</th>
<td>64 bytes</td>
</tr>
</table>
### Decryption
doby reads the public encryption values from the input header to get all parameters needed to re-derive the `master_key` from the password with Argon2.
