Encryption Tool

What is Encryption?

Encryption is the process of converting plain text into ciphertext using an algorithm and encryption key. Decryption reverses this process to recover the original text. Encryption protects data confidentiality and ensures that only authorized parties can access the information.

Our free Encryption Tool uses AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation. All encryption and decryption happens in your browser, ensuring your data never leaves your device. Simply enter your text and encryption key to encrypt or decrypt data.

Why Use Encryption?

Encryption is important for:

• Protecting sensitive data
• Securing communications
• Preventing unauthorized access
• Meeting compliance requirements
• Protecting privacy

Encryption Algorithm

• AES-256-GCM: Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys
• PBKDF2: Password-based key derivation function
• GCM Mode: Galois/Counter Mode for authenticated encryption

Best Practices

• Strong Keys: Use strong, unique encryption keys
• Key Management: Store keys securely, never share them
• Backup Keys: Keep secure backups of encryption keys
• Use HTTPS: Always use HTTPS for data transmission

FAQs

What is AES encryption?

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used for securing data. AES-256 uses 256-bit keys.

Is my data secure?

Yes, all encryption and decryption happens in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

What if I lose my encryption key?

Encrypted data cannot be recovered without the encryption key. Always keep secure backups of your keys.

Can I use this for production?

This tool is suitable for basic encryption needs. For production systems, use established encryption libraries and follow security best practices.
