Hi, I am searching for a tool to encrypt text.
I have found many funny and wired progs, some sitting in the tray and watching clipboard or waiting for a hotkey pressed.
But I have not found what I really looking for (maybe someone still needs an idea for NANY2014?):
- portable app, no dependencies, no registry mess, just launch - use - close
- small executable (assembler? 20kB is enough, easy to share)
- notepad like interface/GUI
- no funny options, no load or save (well, maybe nifty), just encrypt and decrypt
- using standard formats to encrypt in this order:
1.) ROT18 or ROT47
2.) AES crypter 256
3.) base64
- do vice versa to decrypt
Step 2 should ask for pass phrase.
- - -
My usage:
- write or paste plain text (ASCII or Unicode)
- click on [Encrypt] and enter password /prase
- select all and copy to clipboard
And vice versa:
- paste encrypted text
- click at [Decrypt] and enter password /prase
- - -
I think, the main trick is the base64 encoding, with that we are able to exchange the text via clipboard and email.
And the automatically use of three steps to obscure the data.
We can already use EDXOR (http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulifetv/freezip/freeware/) or an text editor with a
few scripts to do that, or utilizing online tools, but I want a simple, no hassle tool for the mothers of us to use
- - -
Note:
I don't want to encrypt files itself or save encrypted text to file. I just want to encrypt text and then copy it. (and vice versa)
- - -
More ideas:
Maybe "select all and copy to clipboard" could be implemented as an button too?
An extra feature would be a command line option:
MTE.exe -e/-d -p pw123 -in xxx.txt -out xxx.txt.enc
Plus if possible an option to use a keyword for -input/-output to tell the app to use text from/to clipboard.
MTE.exe -e/-d -p pw123 -in {clipboard} -out {clipboard}
Maybe an option for -p to show an dialog to prompt for the password (like -a for 'ask').
Any ideas of existing tools?
