Steganos Launches Free Encryption Tool
By pasting text into a website form and entering a password, users can encrypt and decrypt messages using strong encryption, wherever they are without installing any software or paying any fees.
Users visit www.steganos.com/freecrypt where there is a form into which they can type or paste text. They enter a password and click the button and their text is quickly encrypted and displayed in another form field. From there, it can be copied for pasting into an email, instant message, Word document or any other file or text communication medium. Recipients decode the text by visiting the same website, pasting in the encrypted text, entering the password and selecting ‘decrypt’ before clicking the start button.
The software uses 256-bit AES encryption, which is considered by the US government to be suitable protection for information classified as ‘Top Secret’. The algorithm has never been cracked.
This launch follows January’s launch of Steganos LockNote, the company’s first freeware program which encrypts notes on the PC. Steganos LockNote looks like a normal text editor and works in the same way, with the small difference that it can only be opened using the correct password. Data entered into Steganos LockNote is automatically encrypted when the application is closed. Steganos LockNote is available to download at locknote.steganos.com .
