Message Encryption Center

Message Encryption Center is a part of DigiSecret Agent that allows you to encrypt/decrypt plain text messages and send them via e-mail. The message is compressed and encrypted with a symmetric key. This process is the same as when creating encrypted archives; the same encryption and hashing algorithms are used.

The message text is ASCII-armored to prevent it from distortion during transmission (for example via E-mail). A typical encrypted message looks like this:

---------- BEGIN DigiSecret Encrypted Message ----------

To launch Message Encryption Center, click File => Message Encryption Center, or right-click on the DigiSecret system tray icon and select Message Encryption Center.

Message Encryption Center has a toolbar with buttons for loading the text of the message, saving it to the disk, and clipboard operation. It also has a drop-down selection box for choosing an encryption algorithm to be used.

To create an encrypted message, please enter or paste your text in the Message Encryption Center window, and enter your password in the corresponding boxes below.

The E-mail button launches your default e-mail client and creates a new message with the encrypted text in its body.

When you receive a message encrypted by DigiSecret by e-mail or by other means, you need to save it to a plain text file or copy it to the clipboard and then paste it to the Message Encryption Center window. If you saved the encrypted text as file, click on the Open toolbar button in Message Encryption Center and browse for the file. Once the encrypted text is in the Message Encryption Center window, enter the password in the corresponding field below and click on the Decrypt button.
