What KDF does DiskCryptor use to derive the encryption key from the passphrase, and what are this KDF's parameters?

Dear all,

I'd like to switch from VeraCrypt to DiskCryptor to encrypt my system partitions; the reason is VeraCrypt's massive performance problem with NVMe SSDs.

Before I switch, I'd like to know which KDF DiskCryptor uses when deriving the encryption key from the passphrase (e.g. Argon2, bcrypt, scrypt etc.), and what parameters are used for that KDF (e.g. rounds, hashing method, RAM footprint etc.).

I apologize in advance if I have missed something obvious, but I haven't found respective options in the UI. Since this is a key point for encryption safety, I'd like to know as much as possible about it.

Thank you very much in advance!
