[Question #139342]: What exact default Encryption Algorithm (symmetric cipher) is used?

 

Question #139342 on Duplicity changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/139342

Description changed to:
I have looked throughout the related Mailing-List [1] and Duplicity [2]
website and I cannot see any citation or reference to the exact default
Encryption Algorithm (symmetric cipher) that is used for Duplicity. The
website does link to:

http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN185

but this 1999 document is just a general discussion about symmetric
ciphers, it does not indicate which exact symmetric cipher Duplicity
uses. I think it somewhat puzzling that this information is very hard to
find and can't understand why?

I am using Deja Dup with Duplicity so reliant on it's default symmetric
cipher setting, but it's website [3] also does not indicate which exact
default Encryption Algorithm (symmetric cipher) is used.

Apologies if the answer is posted on the websites listed below, but I
can't find the answer to something that needs prominence when Encryption
is such a critical function.
