Hi all,
With all the Hacking news revolving around, I thought I may post something related to security. So this post is all about ENCIPHER.IT, which can be used to secure text messages by using encryption & decryption in Google mail, Facebook or any other site.
About ENCIPHER.IT, it’s just a simple bookmarklet that allows you to encrypt and decrypt messages before you send them. Encipher.it will encrypt your message using Symmetric key encryption implemented with AES256 and PDBKF2 key generation and it also uses SSL Digital certificate. The whole encryption and decryption is performed in your browser using JavaScript, so no data leaves your browser in plain text.
Step 1: Move on to ENCIPHER.IT homepage & get the bookmarklet, you can save that in your web browser.
Step 2: Login to Google mail, Facebook or any other site and type your message and click the bookmark, when asked for password provide that.
Step 3: To decrypt the same text click the same bookmark and enter the same password which you had provided to encrypt the text.
Now remember, if you are going to send encrypted text to your friend you’ve to first inform them beforehand the password. ENCIPHER.IT website also provides a Try it section, which is very useful if you don’t have a bookmarklet.
Hope this post was helpful 🙂
