Start Free TrialHow to Use the Encryption/Decryption Tool
This tool allows you to securely encrypt and decrypt data using various industry-standard algorithms. Follow these simple steps:
- Choose Mode: Select either Encrypt or Decrypt using the toggle switch.
- Select Algorithm: Choose an encryption algorithm from the dropdown menu.
- Enter Key & IV: Provide a secret key and initialization vector (IV) or generate them automatically.
- Input Data: Enter the text you want to encrypt or the ciphertext you want to decrypt.
- Process: Click the Encrypt/Decrypt button to process your data.
Supported Encryption Algorithms
Our tool supports multiple industry-standard encryption algorithms:
- AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): A symmetric encryption algorithm widely used by governments and security organizations worldwide. Available in 128, 192, and 256-bit key lengths.
- DES (Data Encryption Standard): An older symmetric algorithm with a 56-bit key length.
- Triple DES: Applies the DES algorithm three times to each data block for enhanced security.
- RC4: A stream cipher used in protocols like SSL/TLS for securing internet communications.
- Rabbit: A high-performance stream cipher designed for software applications.
Security Best Practices
To ensure maximum security when using encryption:
- Use strong, random keys with appropriate length for your chosen algorithm
- Never reuse the same key and IV combination
- For sensitive data, prefer AES-256 over other algorithms
- Store encryption keys securely and separately from encrypted data
- Remember that client-side encryption tools like this one are convenient but may not be suitable for highly sensitive data
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is this encryption tool secure?
Yes, this tool uses industry-standard cryptographic algorithms. However, all operations happen client-side in your browser. For highly sensitive data, consider using dedicated security tools.
Q. What happens if I lose my encryption key?
If you lose the encryption key, it's practically impossible to recover your encrypted data. There are no "back doors" in proper encryption algorithms. Always store your keys securely.
Q. What's the difference between AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256?
These represent different key lengths (128, 192, or 256 bits). Longer keys generally provide stronger security but may require more computational resources.
Q. Why do some algorithms require an IV (Initialization Vector)?
An IV ensures that encrypting the same message with the same key produces different ciphertext each time, preventing pattern analysis. CBC modes require an IV for security.
Q. Is the encrypted data stored anywhere?
No, all operations happen entirely in your browser. Neither the input data, encrypted output, nor your encryption keys are sent to any server.
