Crypto Lite

A light AES encryption client

Crypto Lite - AES Encryption Client

Crypto Lite is an extremely simple text encryption app that allows you to encrypt your text using military-grade encryption. It uses 256-bit AES encryption to create a cipherblock that can be shared via email, instant message, or file storage. The encryption process takes place in the user's browser, enhancing security and eliminating any middleman. Crypto Lite is not a substitute for SSL, PGP, or filesystem encryption, but provides an extra layer of security for data in transit or storage.

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:

  1. Type in some text and a password
  2. Click encrypt
  3. Store/Send the cipherblock the app gives you. You're done.
