Also, to anybody who is interested in using this I suggest this: don't. I suggest LastPass instead. Who knows how easy it is to crack the encryption (if any) he used? And all your passwords could be as vulnerable as keeping them in a .txt
It isn't a bad program, but people need to be cautious.
I've never tried his program but you could define your own encryption method to encrypt the bytes of a text file for example, and have it exported where ever you want to save it, then when it needs to read the file, decrypt the bytes and store the information about the decrypted information in memory while it gets read to the application. No need to decrypt and save the file at all every time that way, so even if you have the application running it's much secure. If you add your own key for example and you split the bytes to have it created from an IV, or had a certain number of bytes read to create the key then load the rest into the encryption, I think as long as it's personal you'd be fine. That would be the next step to this application though however if he doesn't have something decent to start with.
Then it would just be based off a master login to make sure that not everyone could just load the application to decrypt everything.
He's an alright programmer though, i'm sure he could figure something out if he continued development on this, and this program isn't just left 'as is'.
