- Export binary to file
- Paste ASCII from clipboard
- Copy ASCII to clipboard
- Pseudo random input
No file header
- Encrypted data is saved "as is"
Galois Counter Mode Authentication Tag (GCM Only)
- An Authentication Tag will be prefixed to the encrypted output. This tag is verified when decrypting
- GCM is the only mode that can verify your files have been successfully decrypted
