EncryptPad is an application for viewing and editing symmetrically encrypted text. Using a simple and convenient graphical and command line interface, EncryptPad provides a tool for encrypting and decrypting binary files on disk while offering effective measures for protecting information, and it uses the most widely chosen quality file format OpenPGP. Unlike other OpenPGP software which main purpose is asymmetric encryption, the primary focus of EncryptPad is symmetric encryption.

Features • Symmetric encryption • Passphrase protection • Key file protection • Combination of passphrase and key file • Random key file generator • Key repository in a hidden directory in the user's home folder • Path to a key file can be stored in an encrypted file. If enabled, you do not need to specify the key file every time you open files. • Encryption of binary files (images, videos, archives etc.) • Read only mode to prevent accidental file modification • UTF8 text encoding • Windows/Unix configurable line endings • Customisable passphrase generator helps create strong random passphrases.

Timo: ASmith, CryptoTE is a text editor for personal notes, not a transparent chat encryption. There are enough programs to encrypt chats on systems like ICQ (Pidgin Encryption) or EMail (PGP/GPG).

• File format compatible with OpenPGP • Iterated and salted S2K • Passphrases are not kept in the memory for reuse, only S2K results () • Cipher algorithms: CAST5, TripleDES, AES128, AES256 • Hash algorithms: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 • Integrity protection: SHA-1 • Compression: ZLIB, ZIP • Large multi-gigabyte files are supported. Why use EncryptPad? • Multi-platform codebase: it has been compiled on three popular operating systems and can be adapted to more.

• Portable: simply copy the executable to a memory stick or a network drive and use on all your computers. • Simple to use: EncryptPad is a text editor and an encryption tool for binary files but it saves encrypted, compressed and integrity protected files. • Open source with concise codebase: you can read the code or ask somebody you trust to read it for you to ensure that there are no back doors and your information is safe. • OpenPGP file format: you can encrypt a file with another tool (gpg for example) implementing the format and open it with EncryptPad and vice versa. • Double protection: randomly generated key files in addition to passphrases. When do I need EncryptPad?

• You have a file containing sensitive information such as account names, passphrases or IDs. Pc cheats and codes. It is stored on an unprotected media or you can't control who accesses the file, whether it is located on a computer at work, a laptop while on the move, a memory stick or a cloud drive. • You need to send an encrypted file to somebody with whom you prearranged a shared secret (a passphrase or a key file).

In this case, you need to exchange the secret personally (not via an accessible Internet protocol) for the protected file to be decrypted by the recipient. • You store or receive a file and need to ensure that it has not been tampered with or corrupted during transmission.
