What is Easy Encryption?

Easy Encryption is a simple tool that allows for text encryption & decryption without any hassle. Easy Encryption provides the user with a nice, clean user interface that's easy to use.

Easy Encryption uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for encrypting & decrypting text.

How do I encrypt text?

1. Select the Encrypt tab at the navbar.
2. Insert the text that you would like to encrypt.
3. Enter a password under the original text, or leave it blank if you don't wish to secure it with one.
4. Your encrypted text is automatically shown under the Encrypted Text section.

How do I decrypt text?

1. Select the Decrypt tab at the navbar.
2. Insert the text that you would like to decrypt.
3. Enter the password under the Enter Encrypted Text section. If the encrypted text wasn't secured with a password, then the text will be automatically decrypted.
4. The decrypted text is automatically shown under the Decrypted Text section.

What do compress & decompress do?

When encrypting text, you might find your text to be too lengthy. That's when a compress/decompress feature can come in useful. After compressing, you will see text that looks like gibberish, however, you will also notice the character count go down.

When decrypting a text that has been compressed, you will see the same "gibberish" as mentioned above. To decompress, simply click the decompress button.

• Compression only works best on long, repetitive text.
• When compressing, Easy Encryption automatically checks if the compressed text is longer than the original text (this usually happens when compressing non-repetitive text), and if it is, then it won't compress the text in order to provide a better user experience.

What are all of the options in the share modal?

When you click the share button, you will be presented with numerous ways in which you can share the website, however, you can share both your text and password via the link. The list below explains all of the options. When clicking on one of the options, the desired link will automatically be copied to your clipboard.

• Short URL toggle: If set to on, Easy Encryption will use the TinyURL API and shorten the copied to link. This does not apply when sharing just the website link or when sharing using a QR code.
• Website: Simply a link to Easy Encryption. This link does not provide any special parameters.
• Password: Link to Easy Encryption with the current password provided. For example, if the user sets "easy" as the password and shares the website using this link, the recipient will automatically have "easy" as the password.
• Encrypted Text: Link to Easy Encryption with the currently encrypted text. For example, if the user enters "Secret Message" as the encrypted text and shares the website using this link, the recipient will automatically see "Secret Message" as the encrypted text and will be directed to the Decrypt tab.
• Encrypted Text & Password: Link to Easy Encryption with the currently encrypted text and the password. For example, if the user sets "easy" as the password and "Secret Message" as the encrypted text, the recipient will automatically have "Secret Message" as the text, with "easy" as the password, and will be directed to the Decrypt tab. If this option is selected, the recipient will automatically see the encrypted message.
• Important Note: Sometimes URLs can become too long for browsers depending on the amount of content passed to them. If this happens, try compressing the text.

Other notices:

• When you insert text, any leading and trailing whitespace will be automatically removed. If you want to keep the whitespace, click Show Options, then select Disable Text Trim in the modal.
