Secure Text

[Emily-Elizabeth]

This program allows you to enter text and save it in an encrypted format. You can also format the text using bold and italic. The encryption is "camellia-256-cbc" and is saved as a binary file so your data can't be read.

Pretty cool - I actually like fSekrit better because it saves it as an executable. It doesn't allow formatting, but not needing anything to decrypt puts it over for me. Any way you could incorporate something like that?

I don't think I can save as an executable. I read through some of the fSekrit posts and it seems that some mail servers don't like passing .exe's. Let me know if there's anything else that you would like to see added.

Looks like a nice program I will try it out. 
Years ago if I needed to send a .exe I would zip it. I wonder if it is possible to have a program like this that conceals itself as a zip in some way. 
I would love to be able to hide data in a picture inside of the notebook.

Give it a try, it does what it says and no more (unless I get feature requests).
I'm not sure what you mean by concealing itself as a zip, couldn't you just zip the executable or change the program extension?
If you're looking to hide data in a picture, you can look at https://en.wikipedia...g/wiki/Steganography I am sure there are a few programs to do that.
