This browser extension provides a simple and efficient way to secure text strings. It allows you to encrypt text.
Q: What encryption algorithm is used for encryption?
A: The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). It was selected after a 5-year process where 15 competing designs were evaluated. It supports AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256. It will pick the variant by the size of the key you pass in.
Q: Is it safe?
A: No effective cryptanalysis of AES cipher is known to date, it's officially recommended by many security agencies (including NSA). It's more than enough, it could take billions of years for a Brute Force attack to find a password to decrypt original message.
Q: Do you store the strings or passwords?
A: No, we don't. Since the encryption happens on client-side, it's safe, it does not send any data to our servers.
Important note:
We do NOT store any copies of your text or secret word. vSecure uses client-side encryption (browser-based encryption), meaning all encryption happens locally on your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after opening the extension and continue encrypting offline. This ensures that your data and secret word remain entirely private and inaccessible to us.
