The application comprises two modules: - File Encryptor: Securely encrypt your private and confidential files or entire folders. Simply drag files or folders to the application window. Works like an archiver, creating a new .enc file after encryption. - Text Encryptor: Protect your messages, notes, cryptocurrency keys (seeds, mnemonics), and other text-based information from unauthorized access. Includes steganographic features (F5 and J-UNIWARD algorithms) and post-quantum secure password exchange via ML-KEM (NIST FIPS 203). Algorithms: Threefish 1024-bit, SHACAL-2 512-bit, Paranoia C4 2048-bit, AES 256-bit, RC6 256-bit, Serpent 256-bit, Blowfish 448-bit, and Twofish 256-bit.
