Hello,

Is there any existing solution which implements the AES Crypt algorithm into a simple text editor?

I'm using AES crypt for creating plain text files and the way i need to encrypt/decrypt the files before and after editing annoys me. And the pure idea of having the decrypted file on the harddrive at some moment isn't a nice one either.

Thank You!

Marcel

On Windows you can use
http://sourceforge.net/projects/locknote/
http://www.protectcom.net/products/crypditor/

LockNote saves the file as *.exe.
Crypditor is freeware.
NotepadCrypt is maybe outdated (2007).

There are also some other programs, but you have to pay for them.

But i don't know, if the file format is compatible with any other program.
And you never know, if the AES cipher is well implemented.

The only usable editor is http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/, but at the time it only supports assymetric encryption .

You must decide, if you have no problems with the disadvantages.
