Crypto Notepad / encryption intent

Greetings,

I modified the OI NotePad tool to prompt for & store an encryption password, and to encrypt notes in the database using AES. It's pretty experimental right now. Feel free to play with it. It hopefully won't hurt anything, as I've renamed lots of bits so that they wouldn't, for instance, overwrite the OI NotePad database, but no promises!

Perhaps a better way to implement this would be to be able to choose on a per-note basis (using a menu item or based on tags), which notes to encrypt rather than encrypting all of them.

Also, it seems to me that the functionality for prompting for a password storing the password, changing the password, encrypting, and decrypting data might make a good standalone intent so that you don't have to bake that all explicitly into every application. Would you have any interest in such a thing?

peace,

isaac

Looks great!

Hi Isaac!

This looks great indeed! We definitely should talk about this. I also like the idea about a standalone application for encryption intents and related, so that different applications (OI Notepad, OI Shopping list, and 3rd party apps, ...) could encrypt their data, once this is installed.

We have to get together and see how this can be done in an easy-to-use way with as little overhead as possible.

We can continue this discussion in our developer forum.

See you there,
Peli

Finally it's here

I just installed it! Can't wait to see how it works....
God bless Issac!
