WordSafe

A tool intended to make encryption and decryption effortless for those who manage encrypted text.


WordSafe temporarily decrypts an encrypted text file, opens the file in a text editor, and re-encrypts the text as soon as you close the editor. You can use any text-editor with WordSafe.


The encryption key is derived from the user-prompted passphrase. If the passphrase is "wrong", then the encryption key will be wrong. And decrypting text with the wrong encryption key will only yield gibberish. (So, the passphrase does not determine whether or not the text will be decrypted, but whether or not the text will be decrypted "correctly") This "incorrect decryption" can be avoided with a Verification String: if the Verification String does not exist in the contents of the temporary decrypted file, the file will NOT be opened for editing, but will be immediately deleted, keeping the original encrypted file untouched.
