Paranoia File & Text Encryption overview

Paranoia File & Text Encryption is a powerful encryption suite that includes two modules: File Encryptor and Text Encryptor, designed to protect sensitive files, folders, messages, notes, and cryptocurrency recovery data.

  • File Encryptor: Securely encrypt private and confidential files or entire folders. Simply drag and drop selected files or folders into the application window to encrypt or decrypt them. The application functions as an encrypted archiver, creating secure .enc files.
  • Text Encryptor: Protect messages, notes, passwords, cryptocurrency seed phrases, mnemonics, and other sensitive text data from unauthorized access. Store encrypted content in the built-in database or copy and paste it into your preferred applications. Set a password for each encryption session and use an unlimited number of passwords for different purposes, such as email, secure messaging, social media, or personal notes.
Features
  • Strong encryption algorithms: Protect your data with industry-recognized encryption ciphers, including Blowfish (448-bit), AES (256-bit), RC6 (256-bit), Serpent (256-bit), and Twofish (256-bit). The PRO version additionally supports Threefish (1024-bit), SHACAL-2 (512-bit), and Paranoia C4 (2048-bit).
  • Post-Quantum Key Exchange (ML-KEM): Securely exchange encryption passwords using the NIST-standardized ML-KEM key encapsulation mechanism (FIPS 203). Two parties can establish a shared secret without transmitting the password itself, providing quantum-resistant protection for encrypted files, messages, and sensitive data.
  • Steganography support: Hide encrypted files inside JPEG images using advanced steganographic algorithms. Choose between J-UNIWARD and F5, combined with your selected encryption cipher, to create secure steganograms.
  • Encrypt as URL: Encrypt files or text and generate a self-contained link that recipients can open in a web browser to recover the original data.
  • Cross-platform compatibility: Fully compatible with Paranoia Text Encryption for iOS, Paranoia File Encryption for iOS, and Secret Space Encryptor for Android.
  • Desktop versions available: A free cross-platform desktop edition is available for macOS, Windows, Linux, Solaris, and other operating systems.
  • Web-based encryption tools: Access an online client-side AES File & Text Encryptor and additional security utilities through the web version: https://pteo.paranoiaworks.mobi/

What's new in version 16.2.43

  • File steganography: You can now encrypt and hide files inside JPEG images (J-UNIWARD and F5 algorithms).
  • Encrypt as URL: Encrypts a file or text and produces a self-contained link that the recipient can paste into any browser to recover the original file.
  • New compatible web apps are available at: https://pteo.paranoiaworks.mobi/
