```toml
# .cargocrypt/config.toml (optional)
performance_profile = "Balanced" # Fast, Balanced, Secure, Paranoid
[key_params]
memory_cost = 65536 # Memory for key derivation (64MB default)
time_cost = 3 # Iteration count
parallelism = 4 # Thread count
output_length = 32 # Key length in bytes
[file_ops]
backup_originals = true # Create .backup files during encryption
[security]
timing_attack_protection = true # Constant-time operations
secure_memory = true # Automatic zeroization
[monitoring]
real_time_metrics = true # Enable performance monitoring
alert_thresholds = "balanced" # Alert sensitivity
[git_integration]
