Text Encryptor & Decryptor
Encrypt and decrypt text with a password for secure sharing.
What is Text Encryption?
Text encryption transforms readable text into an unreadable format using a secret key. Only someone with the correct password can decrypt and read the original message. This is essential for protecting sensitive information when sharing online.
How This Tool Works
This tool uses XOR-based encryption with your password as the key, then encodes the result in Base64 for safe sharing. While simpler than AES, it provides basic protection for casual use cases. For highly sensitive data, use dedicated encryption software.
Use Cases for Text Encryption
- Private Messages: Share secrets via public channels.
- Password Sharing: Send credentials securely.
- Notes: Protect personal notes and journals.
- API Keys: Obscure sensitive configuration values.
Security Tips
- Strong Passwords: Use long, random passwords for better security.
- Share Keys Separately: Never send the password with the encrypted text.
- Client-Side Only: Your text never leaves your browser.
Encryption vs Encoding
Encryption requires a key to reverse, while encoding (like Base64) can be reversed by anyone. This tool does both: encrypts with your password, then encodes in Base64 for safe transmission through text-based channels.
