fSekrit not working on an old XP PC

F0dder: I'm not good at writing encryption. There was a post on a forum I go to so I decided to use that as it was the only good one I could find that I did not need an external library for.

FSekrit should run just fine on anything from Win2000 up.-Stoic Joker (October 01, 2012, 02:56 PM)

Actually from Win9x and up - I had to go through a few pains to make that work (and then there were a couple of versions where I accidentally botched the win9x support :$).

So, no, there should be nothing preventing fSekrit working on XP. In fact, I've just tested 1.40 on XP-SP3 (under vmware), and it runs just fine. fSekrit also doesn't use any of the fancy instruction sets, so in theory you should be able to run it on... dunno, probably even a 386 :)


Please do try getting a capture of the error message. Perhaps antivirus? Some of those products don't like fSekrit, either because it's compressed with PECompact, or because of heuristics (copying itself to %TEMP% and launching from there, writing to it's own executable).

c.gingerich, from your site: "256 bit RSA_AES encryption with password". That seems like a weird encryption scheme to choose for an application like this?

Thanks, I'll look into it .

:) - I just have a somewhat hard time seeing how RSA fits in. Your notes are also self-contained and portable, right? Which means you're storing both RSA public+private keys as well as AES symmetric key in the note? Even if the RSA keys are encrypted, I'm not sure it's a good idea publishing the private part (even if that might be more of a theoretical than practical consideration).

I assume you use the user passphrase to generate an AES-256 key to en/decrypt the RSA key, then use the RSA key to en/decrypt a randomly generated AES-256 key, which is then used for the bulk text en/decryption?

PS: Self Note really doesn't like being UPX-decompressed :-)

c.gingerich:
True. I'll have to look to see if I can find another way.

Nope, it breaks if it is decompressed... trying to hack Self Note, eh?  :P

Just poking around, as usual :)
