RoboForm password files are encrypted using AES 256-bit encryption with the user's master Password being the encryption key. Nobody can extract data from this file without knowing the Master Password.
AES is an encryption standard adopted by the U.S. government. The standard comprises three block ciphers, AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256. Each AES cipher has a 128-bit block size, with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, respectively. The AES ciphers have been analyzed extensively and are now used worldwide.
If one could build such a powerful machine, it would take that machine approximately 149 thousand-billion (149 trillion) years to crack a 128-bit AES key (while Roboform uses even stronger 256 bit key). For comparitive purposes, the universe is less than 20 billion years old.
