invalid Signature error
invalid Signature error
I tried to open a document that was encrypted but I am getting the error " invalid signature "..I know the password is correct because I encrypted it myself using (wapwolf from my dropbox). What is the problem? Can anyone help us?

Re: invalid Signature error
The "invalid signature" error is an unfortunate error message. What it means is that the 'AES' header was not observed at the start of the file. It's a basic sanity check to ensure that the file format is known before attempting the decryption process. A better message would be "invalid AES file". I'll add that to the to-do list.
