🔐 What Is The Encrypter App?
The Encrypter App is a lightweight, privacy-focused tool for encrypting and decrypting files using hybrid encryption (AES + RSA). Whether you want to protect private files or send secure data to someone else, this app makes it easy — and everything stays on your device.
💡 Development started in October 2024 and continues whenever school allows.
✨ Key Features
✅ Hybrid Encryption – Combines fast AES encryption with secure RSA key exchange ✅ Simple & Clean Interface – Designed for everyday use without hassle ✅ Cloud-Based Key Storage – Only your public and encrypted private keys are stored online 🔐 Your private key is securely encrypted with your password before upload ✅ Local File Privacy – Files (encrypted or not) are never uploaded ✅ Secure File Sharing – Send data encrypted with a recipient’s public key — only they can decrypt it
☁️ What’s Stored in the Cloud?
The app uses secure cloud infrastructure to manage your encryption keys: • Your public & private keys are stored in the cloud (e.g., via CloudKit) • The private key is encrypted using your password — no one else can decrypt it • All file encryption/decryption is handled locally • No file content is ever uploaded or stored remotely
🛠 How It Works
1️⃣ Your file is encrypted with AES (fast, symmetric) 2️⃣ The AES key is encrypted with RSA (using the recipient’s public key) 3️⃣ The recipient decrypts the AES key with their password-protected private key 4️⃣ They then decrypt the file using the recovered AES key
🧠 Imagine it like this: • AES = the padlock on a treasure chest • RSA = the special safe that holds the key to that padlock • Only the recipient has the code to open that safe and unlock the chest
🔒 Why Hybrid Encryption?
This method is used by major platforms like: • WhatsApp & Signal 📱 • Online banking systems 🏦 • Cloud storage services ☁️ • Governments & defense systems 🛡️
It’s fast, secure, and proven.
