Encrypted Notes is a very simple to use application providing state
of the art industrial-strength encryption to users who want nothing more
than to store sensitive information in text documents.
Users can be completely at ease in the security provided by Encrypted Notes because it follows best practices in dealing with encryption algorithms and does not try to do anything that is not standard procedure. This is important because “being too clever” is one of the most common reasons for security failures in the application of cryptography.
Documents encrypted with Encrypted Notes can never be recovered if the password is lost. Data encryption is done using AES-128 in CBC mode, with SHA-1 for purposes of computing hash digests.
However, note that Encrypted Notes cannot protect users against weak passwords and physical security failures. For more complete safety, the operating system’s swap should also be encrypted. Users with more demanding security requirements (including public key cryptography) should look at GPG.
Encrypted Notes is written in Java. Its document format is open.
