Encrypt / decrypt text

Encrypt clear text and decrypt ciphertext using crypto algorithms like AES, TripleDES, Rabbit or RC4.

Encrypt

Decrypt

What it is

This tool allows you to encrypt and decrypt text messages using symmetric encryption algorithms. Symmetric encryption uses the same key for both locking and unlocking data.

How it works

Enter your text and a secret key. Choose an algorithm (AES by default). All computations are performed on the client-side using the CryptoJS library.

  • AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): one of the most secure and widely used algorithms globally.
  • TripleDES: an older standard that applies DES three times.
  • Rabbit: a high-speed stream cipher.
  • RC4: a widely used but now considered less secure cipher for critical data.

Examples

  • AES: Secret Key + Text → unreadable Base64 string.
  • Decryption: Using the same key will restore the original text.

Limitations & notes

Remember that security depends on the complexity of your key. Avoid simple words. Note that CryptoJS in the browser uses PBKDF2 for key derivation from passwords by default.

FAQ

  • Does the server see my key? No. Processing happens entirely in your browser.
  • What happens if I forget my key? Data recovery will be impossible.
  • Which algorithm should I choose? AES is the recommended standard for most use cases.
