Enciphering Description

Enciphering is an encryption software whose main function is to help you encode lines of text in order to protect their contents from other people. The application is rather difficult to work with, due to the poorly translated interface. As such, it can take quite a lot of 'trial and error' before you figure out how to use it properly. Enciphering features two parallel panels, 'The Text' and 'Code'. In the first, you can input the phrases or words you want to encode. You have the option of adding the contents from a TXT file, using the 'To Open' button. This needs to be at least 30 characters long, otherwise the program refuses to encypher it. Similarly, in the 'Code' window, you can enter the encryption key you want to use, which also requires a minimum of 30 characters. These can by anything from upper and lower case letters, to numbers or special characters, and it too can be entered from a pre-existing TXT. When you are done, you can press the 'To Cipher' button, which will encrypt your text into a string of numbers, that can only be decypherd by using the initial 'Code'. It is generally recommended that you use a longer code, as its length seems to be directly correlated with the strength of the provided protection. By pushing the 'To Keep' button, you can save the encoded contents to a TXT file. Moreover, an already encrypted text can be re-encrypted several times, using the same 'Code' or a different one, thus ensuring an increased level of security. If however, you want to decrypt a text that was encoded using Enciphering, you can enter its contents along with the used 'Code', then press the 'To Decode' button. Enciphering is an interesting tool that can prove quite useful, as it allows you to encode extensive amounts of text using a 'Code' of your contrive, similar to a password working as an encryption and decryption algorithm. However, it could use some improvements concerning the translation of its interface and its 'Information' file, because this might discourage some people from using it.
