FAQ

Is this secure?

Yes! LxCrypt uses AES with a 256-bit key and RSA with a 4096-bit key. Both of those algorithms are considered very safe.

What happens if I forget my password?

Because we encrypt your private key with this password and only store it on your machine, there is no way for us to decrypt the private key for you. Sadly, this means that you will have to reset the application and that you won't be able to decrypt any messages that were sent to you before the reset.

Is any data sent to your server?

No! Everything regarding the encryption is done locally. The only thing that is stored online is your public key. But as the name already hints, it's supposed to be public :)

Why should I trust you?

You shouldn't trust anybody, which is why I made this project completely open-source. This means you can view the code yourself. The full project code is published in this GitHub repository!

Detailed technical explanation

Please note that this is advanced, and you don't have to understand it to use the software!

LxCrypt uses a technology called hybrid-encryption with AES and RSA. Here are two images showing how it's implemented in LxCrypt.
