Title:
  typo in magic file for gnome-keyring (AEL vs. AES)

Status in Seahorse:
  New
Status in “file” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: seahorse

  I cannot find any information about the encryption algorithm used to protect the stored passwords. The only hint about any real encryption is output of
  $ file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring
  [...] GNOME keyring, major version 0, minor version 0, crypto type 0 (AEL) [...]

  Where is the AEL encryption documented? I guess that this is not just
  a typo for AES...
