AES Crypt for Mac

Folks, AES Crypt for Mac was updated so that it will operate on both Intel and ARM-based Macs. When AES Crypt 4 was released, the initial version was built only for Arm processors, but there was quite a bit of demand for Intel, too. The GUI version will run on either processor. The command-line vers...

Re: AES encrypted message issue

The string "U2FsdGVkX18" is not encrypted data. That's just a base64 encoding of "Salted__". That might be the first few bytes of the encrypted file. That's typical of OpenSSL to form a file like that. There's no way to break AES encryption, but you can iterate over all of the po...

AES Crypt Update

It has been a little over a month since AES Crypt 4 was released. The feedback was very positive, though there were a few issues observed. We have been making incremental updates over the past month to resolve various issues. Most significantly was a crashing issue on certain Windows machines. After...

Re: GUI version - Key Manager (or passwords too)

Andy, This is something that has been requested in the past, but not implemented in v4. I have added it to the wish list (first item now on the new feature request list). You can see it here: https://www.aescrypt.com/wishlist.html I think a feature like that would be useful. Speaking from my own exp...

Re: Info Trial version

There is nothing in the software to enforce a time limit.

We only ask that people try it for a reasonable period of time, then buy a license if it meets their needs.

Re: 4.0.0 Backwards Compatibility?

Ah, good! I spent hours trying all sorts of things and this was the one issue I found. Boundary conditions can be such a pain. I re-read the Windows API documentation, and I still find it ambiguous on this point. I will make changes, though, to avoid this. I think in the current 4.x release, I just ...

Re: 4.0.0 Backwards Compatibility?

Just to give a status update, I've spent several hours trying to produce this bug. I tried all kinds of Unicode character sequences thinking that might be the issue. I was able to create a bug when trying to decrypt an old Win 3.10 file and this happens when I use precisely 1024 characters. And, it ...

Re: 4.0.0 Backwards Compatibility?

Ok, so you're right-clicking on a file and select the "AES Encrypt" option or "AES Decrypt" option from the context menu? Is that correct? If so, would you mind generating one of those kinds of complicated passwords and posting it here? I'll do some testing to see if I can replic...

Re: 4.0.0 Backwards Compatibility?

Version 4.0.1 of the Linux CLI and GUI builds has been posted. That fixed the legacy key file issue I observed.

Other platforms will follow, but they take a little longer for code signing.
