The interface consists simply of a text window that works like a notepad. You can type,
edit, save and load text directly from this window.The toolbars and status bar are
standard Windows © acoutrements.The Key Window is in the bar above the status bar
contains the current AES key. This key can be copied from the Key Window but you cannot
edit the Key directly. This Key will remain constant each time you run the application
unless you change it.You encrypt a message by typing in or loading text and then selecting
the Options / Encrypt Message menu . Your text will immediately be encrypted using the
AES Key in the Key Window. The encrypted text (cryptogram) has been converted to text so
that you can readily copy and paste it into an email or save it to a text file using the
File / Save As menu.To decrypt a message, simply load in the cryptogram (encrypted text)
and select the Options / Decrypt Message menu. Provided you have the same Key and Mode
that the message was encrypted with, your message should be immediately decrypted into
readable text. If you see unreadable text or a message indicating ‘corrupted data’, chances
are that you have used the wrong Key.You can change keys either by loading a previously
saved key, or by pasting a key from the clipboard onto the text window and selecting
Tools / Keys / Install From Editor, or you can generate new random keys of 128-bit, 192-bit,
or 256-bit lengths.
