v3.0.15 π¦ Iguanodon β confirm your password is saved before encrypting
Follows v3.0.14. The cryptography, container format,
wordlist, and self-tests are untouched; the Recovery tool's decryption core
is byte-identical to every release since v2.9.0.
Changes
- Confirm the password is saved before encrypting. IttyBitz clears the
password from the page the moment you encrypt, and until now the reminder
to save it only appeared afterwards, when it was too late. Encrypt mode
now has a checkbox above the button, I have saved this password
somewhere safe, and encrypting is refused until it is ticked. The
password stays in the field when that happens, so it can still be copied.
The box unticks itself whenever the password changes, including after
Generate, so a confirmation never carries over to a different password.
Decrypting is unaffected. - Shorter messages after encrypting. With the checkbox in place, the
"Store your saved password securely" line that followed every encryption
repeated what you had just confirmed, so it is gone. The several-files
summary no longer has blank lines between its parts. - Clearer key-file notice. After generating a key file, the notice no
longer states the fingerprint twice, and now says that the fingerprint is
shown whenever the file is selected, even if it has been renamed. - README corrections. It now says that weak passwords are refused (not
merely discouraged); describes what memory clearing actually covers; says
the in-repo security audit covers v2.8.1, before the v3 rewrite; replaces
"upload" with "select or drop", since nothing is uploaded; and gives the
correct build command.
For users
Nothing to do. Existing .ibitz files and encrypted text decrypt exactly as
before.
