Device Encryption - Password protect files for secure sharing

Question

Hello, 
 we decided to activate the file protection option in Sophos Device Encryption. 
 What type of encryption is being used within the HTML5 Containers ?

I was able to find some information on this under the "FAQ" Section in our documentation. This is listed under " How does secure file sharing work? " 
 Users have two options to password protect files for secure sharing: 
 
 In Windows Outlook, encrypt email attachments. 
 In Windows Explorer, encrypt selected files. 
 
 Both options encrypt the files to be shared using AES-256 encryption and store them in a password-protected HTML file. Users can share the HTML file internally or externally. Recipients only need a web browser and the password to decrypt the files.
