Krypton is a privacy tool that uses strong encryption (256-bit AES, CBC, HMAC-SHA256) to securely protect personal and confidential information resident on your computer (Krypton is also available for iOS). Krypton is not a password manager: it encrypts and decrypts entire documents (text, spreadsheets, images, recipes, emails, anything).
Krypton terminology:
• Plaintext refers to any item, whether a text file, image, Word or Pages document, spreadsheet, HTML or sound file, etc., in its normal format.
• Ciphertext refers to a plaintext item that has been encrypted, and is thus unrecognizable.
• A passcode is a string of words and characters used as a key during encryption and decryption. The only way to decrypt a Krypton item is by knowing the passcode used to encrypt it.
Krypton can:
• Encrypt plaintext and decrypt ciphertext items.
• Import plaintext and ciphertext items.
• Export ciphertext items.
• Delete ciphertext items.
