 ### Encrypted Storage
 - AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption
 - PBKDF2 or HKDF key derivation
+- PBKDF2 iteration count must remain consistent or existing data will not decrypt
 - Complete file protection
 - External key material example via `KeyMaterialProviding`
 - Global encryption configuration (Keychain service/account) in app `init`
