• Paranoia File Encryption is a universal file encryption application for iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod), brought to you by Paranoia Works. It securely encrypts your private and confidential files or entire folders. P.F.E. works like an archiver, creating a new .enc file after encryption. The original file(s) can be deleted or wiped after the encryption process is completed. This can be done manually or set to be done automatically. • The app guarantees real security by encrypting data using robust encryption algorithms: Blowfish 448 bits, AES 256 bits, RC6 256 bits, Serpent 256 bits, and Twofish 256 bits ciphers. • Steganography: The application offers steganographic features, allowing you to conceal files within a JPEG image. Two algorithms are available: J-UNIWARD and F5. The selected algorithm works with your chosen symmetric cipher to create the final steganogram. • Versions for other systems and platforms are available on the application's homepage (download section - https://paranoiaworks.mobi/download/). • The AES web version is available at: https://pteo.paranoiaworks.mobi/paranoia-file-encryption/ • Free / PRO version differences: The PRO version contains more algorithms - specifically, Threefish 1024bit, SHACAL-2 512bit, and Paranoia C4 2048bit (which is a cascade of Threefish–Serpent–AES–SHACAL2). The free version can decrypt data encrypted by these advanced algorithms, but encryption is exclusive to the PRO version. In addition, the PRO version allows the selection of multiple files and their batch processing. It also provides a key to activate the PRO version of the desktop application: Paranoia File & Text Encryption for PC, Paranoia Text Encryption for PC and S.S.E. File Encryptor for PC

Al seleccionar encriptar, los usuarios pueden elegir el tipo de algoritmo de encriptación a utilizar y proporcionar los datos necesarios para realizar la encriptación. Estos datos pueden incluir un mensaje, una clave secreta y el tipo de cifrado deseado, por ejemplo, AES o DES. Una vez que los datos son ingresados, la aplicación realiza una llamada a la API correspondiente para realizar la encriptación. La respuesta de la API se muestra en pantalla, mostrando el resultado de la encriptación. Del mismo modo, al seleccionar la opción de desencriptar, los usuarios pueden elegir el tipo de algoritmo de desencriptación y proporcionar los datos necesarios, como el texto cifrado y la clave secreta. La aplicación realiza una llamada a la API correspondiente para realizar la desencriptación y muestra el resultado en pantalla. Además de la funcionalidad principal, la aplicación también ofrece un historial de uso de las APIs. Cada vez que se realiza una encriptación o desencriptación, se guarda un registro en el historial que muestra la fecha y hora de la operación, el algoritmo utilizado y los datos de entrada y salida. El historial permite a los usuarios revisar y realizar un seguimiento de las operaciones de encriptación y desencriptación realizadas anteriormente. Esto proporciona un registro de todas las acciones realizadas y permite verificar y revisar los resultados en cualquier momento.
