       Here, the interface of
AllCrypter is now covered by a very dark blue surface, thus preventing the prying eyes until you click again the 'File' menu, then on the command line named 'Hide the interface of AllCrypter' in order to write this same password which will be used to make disappear this dark blue surface which protects the interface of AllCrypter.
       Attention! Only the menu bar is not hidden by this dark blue surface. Because if it happened that you do not remember your password, then it would be nevertheless possible for you to leave
AllCrypter (via 'File'/'Exit') to then restart it.
       If you do not remember any more your password which was used to hide the interface of
AllCrypter, you must open the file named 'Config01.par' which is in the folder named 'AllCrypter'. Then you remove all the characters in the line which begins with the words 'Mot de passe=' except for the words 'Mot de passe=' themselves; so you remove all the characters in the line which were written after the character '=', but without removing this character '='.
       Then you save this file so that its changes are taken into account. Finally, you restart
AllCrypter. Now its interface is no more hidden.


Question 17: How to insert or send into a window of the 2nd tab, data which are special characters ?

       The commands named 'Cut', 'Copy' and 'Paste' of AllCrypter are compatible with 'Microsoft Windows', but 'Microsoft Windows' does not support all the 256 characters in a normal text window. It is better to use the commands named 'Special copy' and 'Special paste' of AllCrypter when you work with special characters.

       For example, if you want to insert, into the destination window of the second tab, the special data of a video (
'.mov' or '.mpg' for example) from the source window of this second tab, and that among these data there are special data, such as the character having the number zero (0) as ASCII number, then use the command lines named 'Special copy' and 'Special paste' instead of the standard command lines named 'Cut', 'Copy' and 'Paste'.
       You can also use the command lines named
'Insert, at the end of the other window, what follows the cursor', 'Open...' and 'Open and insert at the end...'.


Question 18: How to decrypt, from version 2.0 of AllCrypter, a file previously encrypted with the version 1.x.x.x ?

       Starting with the version 2.0 of AllCrypter, some changes were made so that all files, all data and all the e-mails which are encrypted with AllCrypter are compatible with all languages of AllCrypter (version 2.0 and higher).

       Starting with the version 2.0 of AllCrypter, in the column named 'Status' of the first tab, the state of a file which has been previously encrypted with the version number 1.xxx of AllCrypter will not be reported as being 'Encrypted' but as 'Non-encrypted'. To make it compatible and decrypt this file, using this version of AllCrypter, follow these steps:

1 - In the white box at the top in AllCrypter, just below the toolbar, write the same personal key (secret) which was used previously to encrypt your file. This key can be made up of several characters or several words.
2 - Click on the first tab named 'Source/destination'.
3 - In the upper part named 'Source file (to open to encrypt or decrypt)', select the drive and the folder where is your file to be made compatible so that it can be decrypted.
4 - In the shutter of exploration of source files (the top shutter), just click once on the file, which you want to make compatible to be decrypted, in order to select it (put in video inversion). The name of this file and its access path are now displayed in green into the pale blue label just below.
5 - Click on the 2nd tab named 'Raw data'.
6 - In the toolbar, click on the 8th button named 'Display raw data from the source file'. The data of your file will now be displayed into the upper window of this 2nd tab. If this file has really been encrypted via the version number 1.xxx of AllCrypter, then the first line will show 'LogiciPC_Encrypté'.
7 - Replace the line 'LogiciPC_Encrypté' by the line 'LogiciPC_AllCrypter'. It is important that these characters are on only one line, i.e. that the return to the line remains.
8 - In this upper window of the 2nd tab, click the right mouse button, then on the menu that appears, click on the command line named 'Save as...'. In the dialog window which opens, write your file name and do not forget to give it the correct extension (example: 'Screen.bmp'). Then, click the 'Save' button. Now, your file will be made compatible with this version of AllCrypter.
       If you want to see this new file in the list of source files of the first tab, do not forget to refresh your list of files, if you're already in the folder which contains this file. To do this, at the 1st tab, click on the command line named
'Refresh' of the contextual menu which appears via a right mouse click in the shutter of files exploration.
       Now, you can use this file normally with this version of
AllCrypter, and decrypt it using the procedure which is reported in question number 3 (Question 3:).


Question 19: How to decrypt, from version 2.0 of AllCrypter, an e-mail previously encrypted with the version 1.x.x.x ?

       Starting with the version 2.0 of AllCrypter, some changes were made so that all files, all data and all the e-mails which are encrypted with AllCrypter are compatible with all languages of AllCrypter (version 2.0 and higher).

       Starting with the version 2.0 of AllCrypter, the signature that AllCrypter assigns to the encrypted data is different from that which AllCrypter gave in its version 1.xxx. In an encrypted e-mail, the starting heading which was '>>>DébutAllCrypter>>>' is now '>>>BeginAllCrypter>>>', and the end heading which was '>>>FinAllCrypter>>>' is now '>>>EndAllCrypter>>>'. This excludes, from the heading and the signature, the accented characters (French ...) to make now compatible, with all the languages of AllCrypter, these encrypted data.
        By using this version of
AllCrypter, to be able to decrypt an e-mail which was previously encrypted with the version 1.xxx of AllCrypter, follow these steps:

1 - In the white box at the top in AllCrypter, just below the toolbar, write the same personal key (secret) which was previously used to encrypt the data of this e-mail. This key can be made up of several characters or several words.
2 - Click on the 3rd tab named 'Text/e-mail'.
3 - From your e-mail, paste into the window of this 3rd tab, the encrypted data.
4 - Replace the starting heading '>>>DébutAllCrypter>>>' by '>>>BeginAllCrypter >>>', and the end heading '>>>FinAllCrypter>>>' by '>>>EndAllCrypter>>> '.
5 - Hold down the key named 'Shift' (or 'Maj') on your keyboard (until the end of the treatment); and during this time, in this same window of the 3rd tab of AllCrypter, click the right mouse button; then on the menu that appears, click on the command line named 'Decrypt e-mail text'. Thus, your content is firstly made compatible and at the same time it is decrypted. Finally, your decrypted e-mail is automatically displayed into this window of the 3rd tab. Then only, you can release the 'Shift' key (or 'Maj') on your keyboard.


Question 20: How to insert an acknowledgement of receipt into a file which you encrypt ?

       Starting with the version 3.0 of AllCrypter, you can send an encrypted file which requires the recipient to enter an acknowledgement key to be able to decrypt this file. Indeed, when the recipient begins to decrypt the file with its personnel key, the acknowledgement of receipt (which you integrated and encrypted with this file) is firstly decrypted and then displayed into a dialog box; the recipient must turn over you this decrypted acknowledgement of receipt, and that's what proves you that he has in hand your encrypted file.
       When the sender (you) receives the acknowledgement of receipt (the one you have encrypted in the cryptogram before) which the recipient has decrypted via his personal key, this is the proof for the sender that the recipient (the only one, except you, who has your personal key) has really received the file; thus the proof is made that it is really him (the recipient) which has decrypted the acknowledgement of receipt via its personal key, since it is only by this personal key that it was possible to decrypt this acknowledgment of receipt.
       At this step, no data of the file itself is still decrypted (the part named '
c1'; read the details of the 'Algorithm RH' on the Web site http://www.logicipc.com/allcrypter/algorh2a.html ) but only the acknowledgement of receipt (which is in the part named 'c2' of the file).

       In exchange for the acknowledgement of receipt, you send to the recipient the acknowledgement key (the only one that allows to decrypt the file) which he must enter into its same dialog box that AllCrypter has displayed, in order to continue the decryption process to begin to decrypt the data of the file in question (the part named 'c1'). For example, an acknowledgement of receipt can be very useful for legal documents, the renewal of a Lease, etc. .
       Very important! You should never use two times the same acknowledgement of receipt nor the same acknowledgement key; but you can use the same personal key as many times as you want.
       Thus with this algorithm, you do not need a third party (a trusted third person) or a trusted site to use an acknowledgement of receipt with safety and confidence.

       So, by integrating an acknowledgement of receipt, at the same time you must obligatorily include an acknowledgement key in your file when you encrypt it. To do this, click on the 'Options' menu (at the top) and then on the menu that appears, click on the command line named 'Encrypt including an acknowledgement of receipt' to check (select, notch) that line.
       Thus two lines appear below:
- In this 1st new line, you write an acknowledgement of receipt, or you click on the small gray button on the left of this line to automatically generate an acknowledgement of receipt for you (four characters, but eight characters into hexadecimal here).
- In this 2nd new line, you write an acknowledgement key, or you click on the small gray button on the left of this line to automatically generate an acknowledgement key for you (forty-two characters, but eighty four characters into hexadecimal here).
       Of course you must also enter your personal key into the first white line completely at the top just below the toolbar.

       Now you're ready to encrypt your file (or data) by following the steps described in the answer to the first question (Question 1:) above entitled 'How to encrypt a file ?'.


Question 21: How to integrate a personal information form (which identifies you) into a file that you encrypt ?

       Starting with the version 3.0 of AllCrypter, you can insert into a file (or data) a form of personal information which identifies you; this may be a picture and/or text.
       These data are encrypted and united with your file (or your data) at the same time that you encrypt your file (or your data), provided that the check box, in the upper left corner of this form of the 7th tab named
'Form to encrypt', is checked (selected). Thus, the information in this form are one with the file itself (or the data themselves) that you encrypt.
       Here are the steps to follow to join the data of an information form to a file which you encrypt:
1 - In the 7th tab named 'Form to encrypt', click the checkbox (select the box) in the upper left corner of the form.
2 - To the right of each line in the information form (in the column named '- Data to encrypt -'), write your personal data (or other) which identify you.
3 - On the top left of the information form, click the right mouse button in the picture frame, then in the menu that appears, click on the command line named 'Open a picture...' in order to open a dialog box which allows you to load a picture into this picture frame.
4 - Move the picture in this picture frame to keep only the desired part; to do so, move the mouse cursor over this picture, and while maintaining its left button depressed, drag your mouse; this will move the picture to position it as you wish. Only the visible part of this picture will be encrypted.
5 - Now, encrypt your file (or your data) by following the steps described in the answer to the first question (Question 1:) above entitled 'How to encrypt a file ?'.

       In the future, when the file will be decrypted, the information of this information form will be displayed into the information form of the 8th tab named
'Decrypted form'.
