Full Changelog: v3.0.2...v4.0.0
v3.0.2
EzFileEncrypt v3.0.2
Please migrate your easy EZFileEncrypt files over to the new format introduced in v3.0.0.
The way the program creates the encryption Keys has been improved now utilizing SHA-256. Please remember these improvements mean absolutely nothing if you have a weak password & the attacker has knowledge of the program and how it works.
It is absolutely true that breaking AES 256-bit encryption would take millions of years, especially when combined with SHA keys. However, this is irrelevant if you have a weak password. An attacker could simply brute force your password if it is weak. Improvements to encryption will make your password harder to crack and reverse-engineer, but this becomes irrelevant if the attacker knows how the program works and has seen the source code. If you have a strong password, it will be nearly impossible to brute force it. The encryption we use cannot be broken if you have a strong password, making it completely impossible to access your files without knowing the exact key.
ALWAYS USE A SECURE PASSWORD!
If you have suggestions of how we could make the program more secure feel free to contact me.
