Extension summary
Crypto Lite is an extremely simple text encryption app. The basic idea is to present military-grade encryption in as simple a manner as possible; to put high grade encryption in the hands of people who might not be comfortable with it otherwise.
Input text is password encrypted using 256 bit AES into a cipherblock which is distributable via email, instant message, or arbitrary file storage. Of special note, all encryption takes place in the user's browser, eliminating any middleman in the encryption or decryption processes.
Crypto Lite is not intended as a substitute for SSL, PGP, or filesystem encryption, it is simply an extra layer of security to help protect your data in storage or transit.
--- Critical Security Warning ---: A catastrophic flaw was recently discovered in the OCB2 method (see FAQ). It is imperative that all users update to version 2 and replace stored encrypted data immediately.
How it Works:
- Type in some text and a password
- Click encrypt
- Store/Send the cipherblock the app gives you. You're done.
