• Does xchacha not follow an open standard?

  Hey so when looking at xchacha as it seems to be getting more and more popular in terms of adoption for securing files/messages etc. I noticed that when experimenting and testing file encryption with applications like dexios picocrypt and hat.sh that none of the files could be read/understood by other applications. While this doesn't happen with alot of other apps/algos likes aes afaik. Source: about 1 year ago

• Thoughts on xchacha vs aes?

  Hey so I see that the website recommends picocrypt which uses xchacha20 and its made me go on a little bit of a rabbit hole of xchacha and how it compares to aes. I've also noticed that xchacha is getting adopted very quickly; companies like google; nordpass etc are using it over aes. Does this mean aes is on its way out? Why would a person/company move a lot of their systems to this honestly brand new algorythm... Source: about 1 year ago

• Help me to choose encryption software for the different situations. Description inside.

  In that case, system could be to outdated or other similar problems will appear. For an example: early version of XYZ Linux distributions & Windows 98/XP, not enough access to system (missing admin password) or other, similar problems.

• Interesting Experiment With Great Potential!

  I have some not-so-typical but exciting news about some experiments that I've done recently. For the past little while, I've been looking at new UI libraries for Picocrypt, when I came upon the idea of a fully in-browser encryption tool (like hat.sh, but simpler and lighter). Since I know the WebCrypto API has excellent support (all major desktop browsers and OSs, all major mobile browsers and OSs are supported),... Source: about 2 years ago

• Is there an encrypted file-sharing platform which also scans files for viruses?

  Including hat.sh, cryptomator etc. I need to share files from my personal computer to my work server and ensure I am not inadvertently transmitting a virus to the work server. Do any of these platforms also scan uploads for viruses or is there an alternative platform which does that and is also airtight in terms of security? Source: about 2 years ago

• Whats your experience with encrypting your own files before uploading them to cloud storage?

  Not much, just visit the app at https://hat.sh. however, I just took a look at the upcoming features in the app (in the dev branch), looks like multiple files support is coming, that means beginners perhaps can ditch unfriendly softwares like rclone and cryptomator. Source: over 2 years ago

• Whats your experience with encrypting your own files before uploading them to cloud storage?

  For individual files I recommend you to use Hat.sh, I have been using it for a while and it’s really great. I have individual files encrypted and some folders I zipped then encrypted.
