2.2.4. Cyphering
Access:
- Standard toolbar - Button Kriptus | Cypher
Description: Runs cyphering operation for selected text.
Using passwords, you can make a regular text become a cyphered one.
Many parts of the same document can be cyphered with different passwords.
Also available inside Microsoft Outlook e-mail editor.
Keep in mind that a text can be cypherd just once!
This function expires with DEMO (trial) time.
It is necessary to select text before cyphering.
Clicking cypher button, shows the following screen:
Insert and confirm (re-type) cyphering password.
Password must be at least 4 character lengths.
Text format is not preserved during cyphering process. Output format is equal to the first selected text character, just like if you retype all text without changing format along this text.
Cyphered text may be longer than original. Size is an important variable for cyphering algorithms.
It is also possible to cypher WideString characters.
Cyphered text will appear between ::Kriptus-> and <-Kriptus:: tags!
You can also use undo Word command after cyphering.
Important:
Cyphered text format may differ from original text and may le lost during decyphering operation.
|
Important:
Cyhered tags ::Kriptus-> and <-Kriptus:: will round cyphered text!

Example
The following example shows the cyphering command in Microsoft Word.
Word text with tow paragraphs to be cyphered.
First paragraph must be selected prior to cyphering it by clicking cypher command.
As a result after choosing a password, you see:
Repeating to the second paragraph:
Note that there is no relations between first and second passwords. They are independent of each other!
For the second paragraph with a second password, you see:
Both cases you can see ::Kriptus-> and <-Kriptus:: tags for opening and closing the cyphered text.
Again, do not change cyphered text other than formatting it.
Note:In the example, cyphered text format was changed after cyphering to show a better layout.
Version 2.0.1 and upper
From version 2.0.1 on, an alternative password (panic password) and an alternative text (panic text) were introduced during ciphering.
This panic setting is an option to decipher the text using a second password and showing the panic text instead of original text.
Panic passwor is intended to protect users against forced deciphering during panic situation. No special advise is given when using panic password, as well as no special advise is given for correct deciphering.
2.2.5. Decyphering
Access:
- Standard toolbar - Button Kriptus | Decypher
Description: Converts a cyphered text into a regular one.
To decypher you must use the same cyphering password.
After decyphering, text format may differ from original text because cyphering does not keep different format!
Decyphering is free and does not expire after DEMO (trial) time.
It is necessary to select text before decyphering.
Selected text must contain ::Kriptus-> openning tag and <-Kriptus:: closing tag. Clear text may be included before openning tag and after closing tag.
Clicking decypher button you see:
Insert decyphering password (must be equal to the one used to cypher).
Just like cyphering process, text format is not preserve in decyphering process. Output format is equal to the first selected text character, as if you retype all text without changing format along this text.
Also like cyphering, it is possible to use undo Word command.
Example
The following example shows the decyphering command in Microsoft Word for a cyphered text.
Text presented contains two cyphered sequences that must be selected once at a time.
First cyphered paragraph must contain openning and closing tags and also some other clear text before or after the cyphered text.
As a result of decyphering with the same password used to cypher, you see:
If password differs from cyphering password, decyphering process will fail!
Repeating this procedure for the second cyphered paragraph:
As a result for decyphering (can be a different password):
Again, do not change inside opening and closing tags text, that may be part of the selected cyphered text.
Note:In the example, decyphered text format was changed after cyphering to show a better layout.
