AllCrypter version 4.0
Explanation
- 02: (more...) First tab
of AllCrypter - (Source/destination)
| Each number above which appears in a red circle is the same number of explanation among those below. These same numbers correspond too with those of AllCrypter when you click the question mark and then on any button or window. |
(Explanation 0) '?' By clicking on the question mark (?), it transforms the shape of your mouse cursor (arrow) into form of question mark (?). Then click on the title of a menu, on a button or on a window (etc.) to display its detailed explanation. To
move this window of explanation, move your mouse while
holding its left button pressed on the title 'Explanation number
0' just
on top of this window of explanation. (Explanation 01) Select a drive Click here to select the drive from which you want to encrypt, decrypt, edit or open a file. (Explanation 04) Shutter of files exploration The 1st column of this exploration window (the column 'Name') indicates the name of each file. The 2nd column of this exploration window (the column 'Size') indicates the size in Kilo bytes (KB) of each file. One character is equivalent to 1 byte, and 1024 bytes are equivalent to 1 Kilo bytes (KB). The 3rd column of this exploration window (the column 'Status') indicates whether the file (on its same line) is 'Encrypted' or 'Non-encrypted'. The 4th column of this exploration window (the column 'Date of modification') indicates the date and the hour when the file was modified the last time. The 5th column of this window of exploration (the column 'Read only') indicates whether a file is protected against the writing. This option is selected via the menu line "Attribute 'Read-only' " which is displayed by a right click of the mouse on a file. _____________ Note that the files, which are displayed in this window, are those whose extension is selected in the box just on left of the word 'Name'; so, just to the right of the box where the drive is selected. For example, if you select '*.*' this means that all files display, regardless of their extension. However, if you select '*.txt', only files with the extension (end of the file name) '.txt' will be displayed. This is true for all extensions of the list. The path file that is selected displays just below in the blue background box. This address of the selected source file can also be used in the tab 'Raw data' via the button 'Display raw data from the source file', and in the tabs 'Text/e-mail', 'Video/picture/audio', 'Internet' and 'Intuitive' via the button 'Open the source file'. The exploration shutter in top is used to select a source file (ie, the file from which you crypt, decrypt, display, edit, etc.). The exploration shutter in bottom is used to select a destination filename (ie, the file name to be used to save your changes, for example, the result of encryption, decryption, edition, etc.). When
you click the right mouse button on a file, a menu
appears with the following lines: 'Encrypt...', 'Decrypt...', 'Cut', 'Copy', 'Delete', 'Open' and 'Attribute
'Read-only''. * * * * * In
the menu that appears via a right-click on a file, if you
click on the command line 'Encrypt ...', you will encrypt
this file during an indicator shows the progress of
treatment in progress; but before, you must have written
a personal key in the box provided for that purpose (in
top), if not your file will not be encrypted. When you encrypt a file by clicking on the command line 'Encrypt...', only this file will be encrypted and without being displayed in AllCrypter. You can also encrypt a file by clicking the button 'Encrypt' on the top, left corner of AllCrypter. Note that several selected files can be encrypted at once. Note that at the end of the process of encryption, a big button labeled 'Temporary file: cleaning and removal in progress... Click here to remove without cleaning.' is displayed during the automation of cleaning and removal of the temporary file which has been just created. To save time in the case of a very large file, you can remove this temporary file without cleaning it, by clicking on this big button. If,
in the upper window of files exploration, you
double-click a non-encrypted compatible file, that file
will not be crypted but AllCrypter opens it automatically
either in the 3rd, 4th or 5th tab. * * * * * In the menu that appears via a right-click on a file, if you click on the command line 'Decrypt...', this file will be decrypted and an indicator will indicate the progression of treatment in progress; but before it is necessary to write the right key (the right characters) in the box provided for that purpose (top). The key needed to decrypt a file must be the same one that has served to encrypt, if not your file can not be decrypted. When you decrypt a file in this way, only this file will be decrypted and that without being displayed in AllCrypter. You can also decrypt a file by clicking the button 'Decrypt' on the top, the 2nd button from the left in the toolbar of AllCrypter. Note that several files selected simultaneously can be decrypted. Note that at the end of the decryption process, a big button labeled 'Temporary file: cleaning and removal in progress... Click here to remove without cleaning.' is displayed during the automation of cleaning and removal of the temporary file which has been just created. To save time in the case of a very large file, you can remove this temporary file without cleaning it, by clicking on this big button. When
you click to begin to decrypt your file, if you use the
right personal key (the same one as the sender used
to encrypt) and if the sender had included into this
file an acknowledgement of receipt during encryption in
the past (the acknowledgement of receipt encrypted
with the data) then the acknowledgement of receipt
is firstly decrypted and a small window (a dialog box)
appears revealing to you this acknowledgement of receipt
now decrypted by you. You must send this acknowledgement
of receipt to the sender to receive in return from him an
acknowledgement key which you must then enter in this
same dialog box in order to be able to begin decrypting
of your file (your data). If,
in the upper window of files exploration, you
double-click an already encrypted compatible file, that
file itself will not be decrypted but only the data of
this file will be decrypted in temporary memory, and all
which is decrypted is automatically displayed in the 3rd,
4th or 5th tab. - For
example, if the decrypted result is text (txt, doc,
etc.) it will be displayed in the window of the 3rd
tab ('Text/e-mail'). Note that the text (for example, your 'private diary') which opens in the 3rd tab ('Text/e-mail') can be modified to be encrypted again via the 'Encrypt and save into last source file opened here' command of the contextual menu so that in this way these changes are automatically saved in the same original file. For example, this command is very appreciated when you update a diary, a list of names and address, your private diary, etc. . * * * * * By clicking on the command line 'Cut', the name or names of the selected files are copied and retained in random access memory (in RAM). Thereafter, in the shutter of files exploration, in the folder where you click on the command line 'Paste' (via the menu that appears via a right click of the mouse on the right of any file) these files are paste there; at the same time, these files are removed from the folder where they were cut. * * * * * By clicking on the command line 'Copy', the name or names of the selected files are copied and retained in memory (in RAM). Thereafter, in the shutter of files exploration, on the right, in the folder where you click on the command line 'Paste' (via the menu that appears via a right click of the mouse on the right of any file name) these files are paste there. * * * * * By
clicking on the command line 'Delete', the selected file
or selected files are removed from their folder. * * * * * If you click on the command line 'Open' the command is given to Windows to open your file with the software which is associated (by Windows) to the extension of this file (ie, the last 3 characters of the name, characters after the last dot '.'). But if the file name has no extension, it could not be open in this way. * * * * * If you click on the command line ' Attribute 'Read-only' ' this marks the file so that it is impossible to make changes there. To make it possible once again to make changes, click again on this same command line. _____________
* * * * * By clicking on the command line 'New file', a window appears asking you to write the new file name to be created. Then, by clicking on button 'OK', this file is created in the folder. * * * * * By clicking on the command line 'New Folder', a window appears asking you to write the name of the new folder to be created. Then, by clicking 'OK', this folder is created in the folder already opened in the shutter of folders exploration (on the left). * * * * * By clicking on the command line 'Refresh', AllCrypter makes a new reading of all files within that folder. For example, this is useful after the creation of a new file via another software. Thus, the list of files in the folder is updated at the screen. * * * * * The command line 'Paste' is used to paste the file or files whose names were previously placed in memory via the 'Copy' or 'Cut' command (in AllCrypter only) of the menu that appears by a right mouse clicking on one or more files. By
the same time, if these files were previously cut, they
will be removed from the folder where they were cut. _____________ For other explanations, with the question mark (?), click on one of the following menus: 'File', 'View', 'Options' or 'Help'. (Explanation 08) Encrypt This button 'Encrypt' can be used either via the first or second tab. If
you use this button via the 1st tab, you must first click
on the file you want to encrypt. Note that by default, the source file name and the destination file name are the same; what means that while encrypting you do nothing but transform the same non-encrypted file into encrypted file. If you want a different name for destination file (in which the data will be saved after having been encrypted), click on the 'File' menu then on command line 'Increment the destination file name' to add a digit at the end of the destination file name. Otherwise,
if you want a different name than the one given by this
last command line, click on the 'File' menu, then uncheck
the line 'Identical source and destination files'. You
can also simply write the name of your file at the end of
the line (the path) in the long blue box (writing
in red) below the shutter of exploration of
destination files. This box indicates the address of your
destination file. If you want to save the destination file in a different folder from where the source file is located, click on the 'File' menu, then uncheck the command line 'Identical source and destination folders'. You can now select a different folder in the shutter of exploration of destination folders (the window in the bottom on the left). Thirdly, in the white box just below this button 'Encrypt', you must write a key (your personal key, ie several characters of your choice) which you should not reveal to other people except those to which you give the right to decrypt your file to be accessed. Finally, click on the button 'Encrypt' to start encrypting your source file. During encryption, if the file size is quite large, you will have time to see a progress bar which appears indicating to you visually the quantity of the work of encryption as that encryption takes place. Here, the source file which is selected is crypted without opening. When encryption is completed, the status of the file now indicates 'Encrypted' (in the 3rd column of each of the two shutters of files exploration, source and destination). This operation of encryption is the same as if you click on the command line 'Encrypt...' in the contextual menu which appears via a right mouse click on the file to encrypt. Note that several selected files can be encrypted at once. Note that at the end of the process of encryption, a big button labeled 'Temporary file: cleaning and removal in progress... Click here to remove without cleaning.' is displayed during the automation of cleaning and removal of the temporary file which has been just created. To save time in the case of a very large file, you can remove this temporary file without cleaning it, by clicking on this big button. If, in the upper window of files exploration, you double-click a non-encrypted compatible file, that file will not be crypted but AllCrypter opens it automatically either in the 3rd, 4th or 5th tab. In
this way, the majority of the files are displayed in the
3rd tab ('Text/e-mail') or 4th tab ('Video/picture/audio'); but files with
the extension '.mht', '.htm' or '.html' are directed in the
window of the 5th tab ('Internet'). ___________________ But
when it is in the 2nd tab that you use this button 'Encrypt' to encrypt a file,
it is necessary that you selected before the source file
name in the shutter of exploration of source files, which
is in the 1st tab. This file must be a non-encrypted file
before using this command line 'Encrypt'. To
encrypt these data which you see on the screen, just
write a personal key (in the higher white box)
and then click on 'Encrypt' (the first button on the left
in top). Finally, if you wish, you simply click on the button 9th labeled 'Save destination window into destination file' to save these encrypted data in the destination file which you've previously indicated in the exploration shutter of destination files (the bottom window) to the first tab. Please note that several other commands can also be used via the menu that appears by right clicking the mouse in the two windows of the 2nd tab. ___________________ If
you want proof that the recipient has received your file
(or your data), then you have the option to
include an acknowledgement of receipt and an acknowledgement
key in your file (or in your data) when you
encrypt . To do this, click on 'Options' menu and then on
the line 'Encrypt including an acknowledgement of
receipt'. This will display two lines just below the
first white box at the top. (Explanation 09) Decrypt This button 'Decrypt' can be used either via the first or second tab. If
you use this button via the 1st tab, you must first click
on the file you want to decrypt. Note that by default, the source file name and the destination file name are the same; what means that while decrypting you do nothing but transform the same already encrypted file into non-encrypted file. If you want a different name for destination file (in which the data will be saved after having been decrypted), click on the 'File' menu then on command line 'Increment the destination file name' to add a digit at the end of the destination file name. Otherwise,
if you want a different name than the one given by this
last command line, click on the 'File' menu, then uncheck
the line 'Identical source and destination files'. You
can also simply write the name of your file at the end of
the line (the path) in the long blue box (writing
in red) below the shutter of exploration of
destination files. This box indicates the address of your
destination file. If you want to save the destination file in a different folder from where the source file is located, click on the 'File' menu, then uncheck the command line 'Identical source and destination folders'. You can now select a different folder in the shutter of exploration of destination folders (the window in the bottom on the left). Thirdly, in the white box just below this button 'Decrypt', you must write the same personal key which has previously been used to encrypt the file to decrypt, ie several characters. Finally, click on the button 'Decrypt' to start decrypting your source file. During decryption, if the file size is quite large, you will have time to see a progress bar which appears indicating to you visually the quantity of the work of decryption as that decryption takes place. Here, the source file which is selected is decrypted without opening. When decryption is completed, the status of the file now indicates 'Non-encrypted' (in the 3rd column of each of the two shutters of files exploration, source and destination). This operation of decryption is the same as if you click on the command line 'Decrypt...' in the contextual menu which appears via a right mouse click on the file to decrypt. Note that several selected files can be decrypted at once. * * * If,
in the upper window of files exploration, you
double-click an already encrypted compatible file, that
file itself will not be decrypted but only the data of
this file will be decrypted in temporary memory, and all
which is decrypted is automatically displayed in the 3rd,
4th or 5th tab. The
file itself therefore does not change and remains
encrypted on the disc as it was, but its data will be
decrypted in temporary memory, and AllCrypter will use these
data in itself for you from this memory. - For
example, if the decrypted result is text (txt, doc,
etc.) it will be displayed in the window of the 3rd
tab ('Text/e-mail'). Note that the text (for example, your 'private diary') which opens in the 3rd tab ('Text/e-mail') can be modified to be encrypted again via the 'Encrypt and save into last source file opened here' command of the contextual menu so that in this way these changes are automatically saved in the same original file. For example, this command is very appreciated when you update a diary, a list of names and address, your private diary, etc. . ___________________ But
when it is in the 2nd tab that you use this button 'Decrypt' to decrypt a file,
it is necessary that you selected before the source file
name in the shutter of exploration of source files, which
is in the 1st tab. This file must already be encrypted. To
decrypt these data which you see on the screen in the
upper window of the 2nd tab, just write the same personal
key (in the upper white box, below the 'Decrypt' button) which
was used previously to encrypt these same data, and then
click on 'Decrypt' (the 2nd button on the left in
top). Finally, if you wish, you simply click on the button 9th labeled 'Save destination window into destination file' to save these decrypted data into the destination file which you've previously indicated in the exploration shutter of destination files (the bottom window) to the first tab. Thus, from now on, these decrypted data are in the destination file indicated to the 1st tab. Please note that several other commands can also be used via the menu which appears by right clicking the mouse in the two windows of the 2nd tab. ___________________ Note
that, when you click to begin to decrypt your file, if
you use the right personal key (the same one as the
sender used to encrypt) and if, in the past, the
sender had included into this file an acknowledgement of
receipt during encryption (the acknowledgement of
receipt encrypted with the data) then the
acknowledgement of receipt is firstly decrypted and a
small window (a dialog box) appears revealing to
you this acknowledgement of receipt now decrypted by you.
You must send this acknowledgement of receipt to the
sender to receive in return from him an acknowledgement
key which you must then enter in this same dialog box in
order to be able to begin decrypting of your file (your
data). (Explanation 10) Hide the key Click
here on the 3rd button labeled 'Hide the key', if you want that
the characters of your personal key (in the box just
below) are hidden by adjusting with the same color
the characters of the personal key and the background of
the box itself, where they display. When a key is thus hidden, it is not changed, and therefore not modified. It is only on the screen that its color is modified to make its characters like invisible to the eye. (Explanation 11) Generate random key Click on the button 'Generate a random key' if you want that AllCrypter creates itself (random + pseudo-random) a personal key for you. A
key of 32 characters (of 256 bits) is thus
created for you. Do not forget to note your key (save it in an encrypted file for example) to use it in the future to decrypt your data which have previously been encrypted with this key. (Explanation 12) Load a key from a file By clicking on the 5th button labeled 'Load a key from a file', a dialog box opens so you can select a file name from which you can load a personal key that you previously saved via the 6th button labeled 'Save the key into a file'. Attention
that nobody reads your key in this file, so keep your
file encrypted. (Explanation 13) Save the key into a file By clicking on the button 'Save the key into a file', a dialog box opens, allowing you to write a file name in which you can save your personal key (which is written in the white box at the top) in order to use it later (via the 5th button labeled 'Load a key from a file') to decrypt data that have been encrypted with it. Attention that nobody reads your key in this file; for that always keep encrypted your file containing your personal key. (Explanation 14) 'View' Menu By clicking on the command line 'View', a menu appears with the following command lines: - 'Text size' * * * * * 'Text size' Click on the command line 'Text size', to change the size of the characters in the window of the 'Internet' tab. * * * * * 'Exploration source shutter only' When
you click on the command line 'Exploration source shutter only', the exploration
destination shutter disappears to enlarge the size of the
exploration source shutter. * * * * * 'List' When you check the command line 'List', the two exploration shutters of file names display only the file names, and this in columns. * * * * * 'Details' When you check the command line 'Details', the two exploration shutters of file names will display on each line, the file name, the file size, the status of the file ('Encrypted' or 'Non-encrypted'), the date of the last modification of the file and finally whether or not, your file is protected against writing (if a file is protected, a 'Yes' is displayed in the 'Read-only' column, otherwise it is a 'No'). * * * * * 'Pictures 32 x 32 pixels' When you check the command line 'Pictures 32 x 32 pixels', the exploration shutter of source file names only will display in miniature the picture that contains each file if the file is not encrypted and if the picture of this file is compatible with this source shutter of exploration. If a file is not a picture file, then an icon (a small drawing) containing a red circle crossed displays with the notation 'ENCRYPTED' (if the file is already encrypted) or 'NON ENCRYPTED' ( if the file is not encrypted). The file name is indicated just under this icon (or the picture in question). The size of the picture can be displayed with a maximum width of 32 pixels and a maximum height of 32 pixels. This
is true for the command lines 'Pictures 96 x 96 pixels' and 'Pictures 256 x
256 pixels' which can display each picture in a larger
size. (Explanation 15) 1st tab: 'Source/destination' Click on this first tab (Source/destination) to be able to select or choose a source file (from which you make the reading of your encrypted or unencrypted data) and a destination file (where you save your encrypted or unencrypted data). You
can thus choose the drive, the folder and the file (source
and destination). You can also, using your keyboard,
write the characters of the name of your destination file
in the long box pale blue of bottom (the one
belonging to the shutter of exploration of destination
files). The names and paths of the source and destination files can be used in other tabs than this one. (Explanation 16) 2nd tab: 'Raw data' In this 2nd tab called 'Raw data', you can: - Display the raw
data of the source file which is indicated in the 1st
tab, To
display in this 2nd tab, the data of the source file, it
is not necessary to write a key. However, the data which
are displayed in the upper window of the 2nd tab are raw,
meaning they can contain code which indicates colour,
underlining, boldface or italic, and so on. This
is why, data which are displayed in this tab can seem odd
and sometimes illegible. For example, if you display text which contains colors, bold or italic characters, there will be characters which you seem strange, because these characters are data that understands a word processor when it uses them to place the correct colors and fonts to each character. Thus for several file formats. However,
if for example you take content having text with
data to enrich this text (to indicate colors, fonts,
etc.), it could be viewed in the window of the 3rd
tab called 'Text/e-mail' by clicking on the command line <Send to
'Text/e-mail' or 'Video/picture/audio' tab> of the menu which
appears via a right click of the mouse in one of two
windows of the 2nd tab. (Explanation 17) Select a drive Click here to select the drive where you want to save the changes of the encrypted , decrypted or edited data. (Explanation 19) Display the raw data of the source file Click
on the 8th button labeled 'Display the raw data of the source
file' so
that the data of your source file, whose name is
indicated in the 1st tab, are displayed in the top window
in this 2nd tab named 'Raw data'. Thus you will be
able to see on the screen the raw data of this source
file. To
encrypt unencrypted data that you've loaded into the
upper window of the 2nd tab, just write a personal key (in
the upper white box) and then click on the button 'Encrypt'. To
decrypt encrypted data that you've loaded into the upper
window of the 2nd tab, just write the same personal key
which was used before to encrypt them, then click on the
button 'Decrypt'. For
example, if the content is text with data to enrich this
text (so to indicate colors, fonts, etc.., and not
necessarily readable here [because of special
characters]) it could be displayed in the window of
the 3rd tab, clicking on the command line <Send to
'Text/e-mail' or 'Video/picture/audio' tab> of the menu which
appears via a right click of the mouse in one of two
windows of the 2nd tab. For more information, click with the question mark (?), either in one of two windows of the 2nd tab, or on the title of the 2nd tab named 'Raw data', or in the white box being used to write a personal key, or on the button 'Encrypt' or on the button 'Decrypt'. (Explanation 20) Label : 'Deactivated form' ou 'Activated form' When
you select (by clicking the mouse) the checkbox in
the upper left corner of 7th tab called 'Form to encrypt', the information
form (in this 7th tab) is activated, and the
label, right next to the last button (of the icon bar)
named 'Reset : delete the contents of this tab', displays the two
words
'Activated form'. When
the checkbox, in the information form of the 7th tab,
is unchecked then the form of this 7th tab is disabled
and the label to the right of the toolbar (of the icon
bar) of AllCrypter displays the two words 'Deactivated form'. Thus, at a glance, this label lets you know if your information form is activated or not, in order not to integrate its data by error into a file (or into data) when you encrypt. (Explanation 21) 'Save destination window into destination file' Click on this button named 'Save destination window into destination file' to save the data (encrypted or unencrypted) of the lower window (the bottom window) of this 2nd tab into the destination file that you previously reported the name in the long pale blue box under the shutter of exploration of destination files in the 1st tab. (Explanation 22) 'Reset' Click on this button 'Reset' to delete all the data which are in the active window(s) of the currently active tab. (Explanation 51) 'Send into the source window
of the 2nd tab' Click on the 10th button on the toolbar named 'Send into the source window of the 2nd tab' if you want to send in raw format the data from a window of the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th tab to the upper window of the 2nd tab. If you want to send these same data in raw format (text, photo, picture or video) towards the lower window of the 2nd tab, then click on the button 'Send into the destination window of the 2nd tab'. When you send data in this way from the 3rd tab named 'Text/e-mail', this is not just the text that you send in the window of the 2nd tab, but you also send all the code which indicates the formatting of this text, i.e. all the data which indicate, for example, the size, the color, the font, etc. of the characters. However,
if from this 3rd tab named 'Text/e-mail', you want to send
in the window of the 2nd tab, the data in simple text (i.e.
without color, without bold, etc.), rather click on
the command line 'Send (as plain text) into the source
window' that appears via a right click of the mouse
in the window of the 3rd tab. If, from the 4th tab named 'Video/picture/audio', you send a picture in one of two windows of the 2nd tab, via the 10th button (on the toolbar) named 'Send into the source window of the 2nd tab', these will be the raw data (with the information on the size, color, etc., in the case of a text) which constitute this picture that will appear in the source window of the 2nd tab, and not the picture itself. However
if, from the window of the 5th tab named 'Internet', you want to send
in the window of the 2nd tab, the data of a picture in
raw format (i.d. the info
on the picture but not the picture itself),
right-click of the mouse on the picture, then click on 'Copy'. When in this way, from the window of the tab 'Video/picture/audio' of the 4th tab, you send a picture in one of two windows of the 2nd tab, these will be the raw data that constitute this picture that appear in the window in question in the 2nd tab and not the picture itself. For example, this can be interesting for people wishing to integrate a secret message encrypted in a picture, or simply changing a few pixels colors. Then
you can do the reverse to see this picture in the window
of the 4th tab, to test if your secret message is hidden
there, and without nothing that prevent to display the
picture at the screen. For example, the content constituting a picture could be identified by the extension 'bmp', 'jpg', 'jpeg' or 'gif'. For a video, it could be 'mpg', 'mpeg', 'wmv' or 'avi'. A music could be identified by the extension 'mp3', 'wav', 'mid', 'midi' or 'rmi'. Thus, your photo is automatically displayed in the window of the 4th tab 'Video/picture/audio'. ____ From the 6th tab 'Intuitive', when you click on the button 'Send into the source window of the 2nd tab' or on the button 'Send into the destination window of the 2nd tab', in fact the data of the destination window (the right window) of the 6th tab are sent towards the source or destination window of the 2nd tab. (Explanation 53) 'Open the source file' The 12th button on the toolbar named 'Open the source file' is activated only through the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th tab. This button load, in a window of the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th tab, the file which is selected in the shutter of exploration of source files of the first tab. Note that here, this is not the file that is decrypted but only its data; the file remains unchanged. If it is a file already encrypted, you must write in the white box provided for that purpose (in top), the same personal key which has served previously to encrypt this same file; only after, you will be able to click on the button 'Open the source file'. This button 'Open the source file' will probably be one of the buttons the most used in AllCrypter. For it is useful for several types of files: text, photos, pictures, videos, music, etc.. Note that in the shutter of exploration of source files of the 1st tab, if you double-click on any file, it will produce in some cases the same result as if you click on the button 'Open the source file' through the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th tab (files whose name has the extension '.mht', '.htm' or '.html' are an exception to this double-click since in this case they are going towards the window of the 5th tab named 'Internet'). By
clicking on the button 'Open the source file', if the data on
your file are already encrypted, they will be firstly
decrypted (after having written the necessary
personal key), then AllCrypter will automatically
try to detect the type of content in this file in order
to determine in what tab it should be displayed, watched
or listened, if it is necessary. Note that a text already opened in the 3rd tab ('Text/e-mail') can be then modified to be encrypted again and then saved again in the same file via the command line 'Encrypt and save into last source file opened here' which appears via a right click of a mouse in the window of this 3rd tab. For example, this command line is very appreciated when you update a diary, a list of names and address, your private diary, etc. . (Explanation 74) 'Internet' Tab In this 5th tab named 'Internet', you can: - Surf the
Internet (with menu commands of the right mouse
button found in Internet Explorer), For
more information, click with the question mark in the
window of the 5th tab named 'Internet'. (Explanation 75) 'Intuitive' Tab In the 6th tab named 'Intuitive', you can: -
Possibility to make an intuitive decryption of data which
were encrypted with other encryption softwares than AllCrypter, In this left window of the 6th tab named 'Intuitive', you can also load the data file by clicking on the command line 'Open ...' of the contextual menu which appears by right clicking the mouse in this left window. For more information, click with the question mark in one of the windows of the 6th tab named 'Intuitive', or on one of its buttons. (Explanation 76) 'Form to encrypt' Tab The 7th tab named 'Form to encrypt' contains a form whose information you enter can be attached to the data that you encrypt (file, etc.) if you checked the higher left box. For more information, click with the question mark in the window of the 7th tab named 'Form to encrypt'. (Explanation 77) 'Decrypted form' Tab The
8th tab named 'Decrypted form' contains an
information form that displays data which are decrypted
and which had previously been encrypted and joined to a
file (or data). When
you decrypt a file (or data) that contains an
information form, then a label appears with the words 'Decrypted info'. This label is
right next to the 13th button labeled 'Reset : delete the
contents of this tab' in the toolbar of AllCrypter. This
label indicates that the data you have just decrypted
contained an information form which allows the
identification of the person who has encrypted this file (or
data). The last 3 lines of this information form in the tab 'Decrypted form' tell you if the file (or data) that you decrypt has been altered or not. Here
is the explanation of each of these last 3 lines in the
bottom of the window of the 'Decrypted form' tab: -
2nd line : indicates the date (day, month
and year) of the day when the file (or data)
has been encrypted; this date has been encrypted with the
data. -
3rd line : indicates if the cryptogram (the
encrypted data) has been altered or not (from
start to finish). ____ To delete all the data in this information form (in the 8th tab named 'Decrypted form'), click either on the small gray square button at the top left in the 8th tab, or on the 13th button labeled 'Reset : delete the contents of this tab' in the toolbar of AllCrypter. For more information, click with the question mark in the window of the 7th tab named 'Form to encrypt'. (Explanation 79) 'Text/e-mail' Tab In the 3rd tab named 'Text/e-mail', you can: - Display
rich text (doc, rtf, etc.) or plain text
(txt, etc.) from the source
file (encrypted or not encrypted) which is
indicated in the 1st tab, For more information, click with the question mark in the window of the 3rd tab named 'Text/e-mail'. (Explanation 80) 'Video/picture/audio' Tab In the 4th tab 'Video/picture/audio', you can: -
Displaying pictures, photos, etc. (bmp, jpg, gif,
etc.) from the source file (encrypted or not
encrypted) which is indicated in the 1st tab, For more information, click with the question mark in the window of the 4th tab named 'Video/picture/audio'. (Explanation 97) 'File' Menu Clicking
on this command line 'File', a menu appears with the following command
lines: * * * * * 'Increment the destination file
name' With each time you click on the command line 'Increment the destination file name', the name of the destination file which appears in the blue box to this end will be incremented, i.e. the number one will be added to the number (between parenthesis) at the end of the destination file name. Thus, the names of the source file and destination file will not be identical. For
example, if the destination file name is 'My_file.mp3' and you click the
command line named 'Increment the destination file name', then this file
name will become 'My_file(0000).mp3'. If you click
again on this same command line, this name will become
'My_file(0001).mp3', then 'My_file(0002).mp3', and so on until 'My_file(9999).mp3', after which it
will become 'My_file(0000).mp3', then
'My_file(0001).mp3', etc. . Attention! For example, if you click while the file name is 'My_file(0008).mp3' in your blue box at the bottom, and that the file 'My_file(0009).mp3' already exists in your folder, then instead to create the name 'My_file(0009).mp3', it will be the name 'My_file(0010).mp3' which will be created in your blue box at the bottom. * * * * * 'Identical source and destination
folders' The 2nd command line named 'Identical source and destination folders' allows you to choose simultaneously or not the same folder (source and destination) each time you click either on a source folder or on a destination folder. If
you do not want to oblige the data of your source file
(that you encrypt or decrypt) to be saved in the
same folder (source or destination),
uncheck this 2nd command line. Thus, your destination
folder will not automatically be the same one as the
source folder each time you select a source folder, and
vis versa. * * * * * 'Identical source and destination
files' The 3rd command line named 'Identical source and destination files' allows you to save the data (which you encrypt or decrypt) in a destination file which has or not the same name as the source file. If you want a destination file name different from the source file, uncheck this command line. Thus, when you will select a source file, you do not oblige the destination file name to be the same one as the source file, and vis versa. * * * * * 'Hide the interface of AllCrypter' When
you click on the command line named 'Hide the interface
of AllCrypter', a small dialog window appears. Write there
a password, then click on the button 'OK' so that the
interface of AllCrypter is hidden with a dark blue color
so that nobody sees or uses AllCrypter in your absence,
while you're on break for example. Attention!
Only the menu bar is not hidden by this dark blue
surface, and only the 'File' menu (in this menu bar) is
enabled with its two lines of command named 'Hide the interface
of AllCrypter' and 'Exit'. Because if it happened that you did not
remember any more your password, then it would be
nevertheless possible for you to leave AllCrypter (via 'File'/'Exit'). * * * * * 'Exit' Click on the command line 'Exit' to exit AllCrypter. (Explanation 98) 'Options' Menu Clicking on this command line named 'Options', a menu appears with the following command lines: - 'Encrypt including
an acknowledgement of receipt' * * * * * 'Encrypt including an acknowledgement of receipt' You select this command line named 'Encrypt including an acknowledgement of receipt' only if you want to include to your encrypted data an acknowledgement of receipt . By checking this command line, two lines are added at the top of the interface of AllCrypter, just below the line (the box) used to write your personal key. These two lines (two boxes) are used only to encrypt and not to decrypt. Click with the '?' on these two lines to get more explanations. The first of these 2 boxes is used to write an acknowledgement of receipt, and the second is used to write an acknowledgement key. By clicking on the small gray square button to the left of this 1st line, it automatically generates for you an acknowledgement of receipt to the right on this line; and clicking the small gray square button to the left of the 2nd line, this will automatically generate for you an acknowledgement key which displays to the right on this line. The data of each character, which are generated for the creation of an acknowledgement of receipt and an acknowledgement key, are created from several numerical data from multiple horizontal and vertical positions (x and y) of the cursor of the mouse taken in memory (in a random way) since the opening of AllCrypter, and they are also calculated and added to other data generated in a pseudo-random way. Note
that even if the Algorithm RH (in AllCrypter) accepts
only the acknowledgements of receipt of 4 characters in
base 256 (thus a possibility of 4 294 967 296
combinations each time: 256 x 256 x 256 x 256), here
(in AllCrypter) you must write your
acknowledgement of receipt in hexadecimal (AllCrypter
makes the conversion automatically), so in base 16
so that all the 256 characters (base 256) are
usable; this doubles the number of characters that you
write, therefore 8 characters (base 16) instead
of 4 (base 256). The hexadecimal characters are
zero to nine and A to F. AllCrypter cares to
automatically make the conversion into base 256 (in
the cryptogram) during encryption. The
function of the acknowledgement of receipt is to give you
the proof that the person, to whom your file (or
data) is intended (the recipient), has
personally received your file (or data). So you
have the option to include an acknowledgement of
receipt and an acknowledgement key in your
file (or data) when you encrypt. For
example, to facilitate memorization of your
acknowledgement of receipt, you can write it in current
characters (4 characters in base 256; for example,
the word 'vies') instead of 8 characters
(base 16) and transform them thereafter into
hexadecimal (base 16) by AllCrypter itself, and
finally paste them in the line 'Acknowledgement of
receipt :'. * * * * * 'Save the acknowledgements of receipt and the keys into the folder 'Keys'' When this command line named 'Save the acknowledgements of receipt and the keys into the folder 'Keys'' is checked, then each time you encrypt a file (or data), the personal key (written in top) is saved into the file 'Keys and acknowledgements of receipt.txt' in the folder named 'Keys' which is in the folder named 'AllCrypter'; and if the command line 'Encrypt including an acknowledgement of receipt' is checked, the acknowledgement of receipt and the acknowledgement key are also saved into this same file. The date and time of each encryption are also saved there. To display the data of this file, click on the command line named 'Display data file 'Keys and acknowledgements of receipt.txt''. * * * * * 'Display data file 'Keys and acknowledgements of receipt.txt'' By clicking on the command line named 'Display data file 'Keys and acknowledgements of receipt.txt'' you display the data of the file 'Keys and acknowledgements of receipt.txt' which is in the folder named 'Keys' of the folder named 'AllCrypter'. These
data constitute your personal keys, your acknowledgements
of receipt and your acknowledgement keys, and the date
and time of each one of these encryption. * * * * * 'Exit saving the configuration of AllCrypter' Lorsque vous
quittez AllCrypter via le menu 'Fichier'/'Quitter' pendant que la
ligne de commande 'Enregistrer la configuration d'AllCrypter
en quittant' est côchée, alors la plupart des
paramètres sont conservés en mémoire dans un fichier
afin qu'à la prochaine ouverture d'AllCrypter ces paramètres
soient les mêmes. (Explanation 99) 'Help' Menu Clicking
on this command line named 'Help', a menu appears with the following
command lines: * * * * * 'Detailed explanation of the software AllCrypter... (HTML format)' This command line named 'Detailed explanation of the software AllCrypter... (HTML format)' displays, in the 'Internet' tab of AllCrypter, the start page for a detailed explanation of AllCrypter, with illustrations. * * * * * 'Questions and answers about the software AllCrypter... (HTML format)' This command line named 'Questions and answers about the software AllCrypter... (HTML format)' displays, in the 'Internet' tab of AllCrypter, a page containing many answers to questions on the procedure to be followed about some operations in AllCrypter. * * * * * 'Advertisements...' This command line named 'Advertisements...' displays an advertising window on some software of the company 'LogiciPC' (www.logicipc.com). * * * * * 'About the software AllCrypter...' This
command line named 'About the software AllCrypter...' displays the
window allowing you to make the request for a license of
use of AllCrypter. In this window,
you can click on the button 'Buy...' to display the form
for a request for a license that you print and email or
mail. (Explanation 100) Convert the key characters into hexadecimal (base 16) By clicking on the 7th button (in the toolbar) named 'Convert the key into hexadecimal (base 16)', this copies your personal key (which is in the white box in top) in a window (which opens) while being converted into hexadecimal (base 16). This
new window named 'Convert the key characters into
hexadecimal (base 16)' contains : This
window can be useful, for example, to facilitate to you
memorization of your acknowledgement of receipt. To do
this, write your acknowledgement of receipt in current
characters (4 characters in base 256; for example,
the word 'vies') instead of 8 characters
(base 16) and transform them thereafter into
hexadecimal (base 16) by AllCrypter itself, and
finally paste them in the line named 'Acknowledgement of
receipt :'. |
