Text Encrypt/Decrypt (AES-256)

Secure snippets with a shared password. JSON output includes salt and IV.


Frequently asked questions

Which algorithm?
AES-256-CBC with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (100k rounds). Output JSON contains salt, IV and ciphertext.
Is this suitable for production data?
Use for ad-hoc secrets. For production, use vetted libraries, authenticated modes and key management.
What does the AES Text Encryption do?
Encrypt text with AES using a supplied password or decrypt compatible ciphertext returned by the tool.
How should I interpret a AES Text Encryption result?
Read the displayed labels and validation messages together, then verify important findings against the original source. The result is a practical aid, not proof beyond the data it can inspect.
What can affect the AES Text Encryption result?
The exact password, algorithm settings, and compatible ciphertext format are required for decryption; losing the password can make data unrecoverable.
Where can I learn more about using the AES Text Encryption?
Read “Encryption, Hashing and Defensive Hash Checks Explained” for a practical workflow, limitations, and checks to make after using the tool.
