Encrypting texts is similar to enclosing a text into a safe. To enclose the text in the safe, a secret key is used for enclosing the Text into the safe. If you want to encrypt a text, first enter a secret key . The key can be any string. Then enter the text to be encrypted in the input field in the input area. If you do not enter a secret key, "Secure Text" will use an internal secrect key. The encrypted text is now displayed in the output area. To transfer the encrypted text to another app, tap the copy icon, that copies the encrypted text and it can be pasted into any other app. If you want to decrypt a text, you will need the secret key with which the text was encrypted. Make sure that the decode icon is displayed in the lower right corner of the input area and in the output area. If not, tap the icon to toggle in to the decrypt mode.

Xave is Secure Encrypted Space on your device which allows you to store private and confidential data locally. This allows you to take your private data wherever you go. Furthermore, all files are encrypted at rest on your device instead of the cloud. When the app is not in use, it is protected with several layers of authentication before it can be accessed. Anytime you leave the app, it will require you to re-enter your 4-digit PIN and uses biometric authentication if that feature has been enabled. Xave does not require any personal information. It utilizes our universal 9-digit xID, which can be used across our other Secure and Encrypted apps, such as the xPal Ultra Secure messenger. Xave provides you with more than just a secured local encrypted space on your device. It also allows you to send and receive encrypted files through xPal Secure Messenger, without the need for any additional registration. Peace of mind and control is what Xave is all about it. All your personal data is encrypted at rest and is with you all the time. Xave also provides you the control to add, permanently delete, send, receive, sort, search and browse files such as photos, videos, and other supported files with ease and speed. Creating a Xave space is simple and easy. If you already have an xID from xPal, simply log in with your xID. If you’re a new user, it only takes a few seconds to register. Simply choose a screen name, a 4-Digit PIN, a password and you’re off and running. You can start storing your personal data in your encrypted and secured Xave space. Xave uses a key exchange protocol which combines the Double Ratchet algorithm, PreKeys, triple Elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman (3-DH) handshake, and Curve25519. xPal also uses AES-256, and HMAC-SHA256 as primitives. Our own patent pending encrypted compression method allows for one of the best and fastest viewing and delivery of large encrypted files.
