Open Source Algorithms

This software provides an easy graphical way to encrypt your text documents from source code , text files ,scripts even jpeg files .It is a enhanced version of my earlier project https://sourceforge.net/p/xorencrypt which used win32 GUI . This is a demonstration of working of XOR encryption which was used by Germans in World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_cipher) . Besides from XOR'ing the message with password after every encryption the key changes pseudorandomly. The password you provide is hashed ( SHA256 ) and saved into the encrypted file to check if the password provided is correct.This algorithm has limitations in general more the numbers of relative characters in the password to plaintext more secure will be the encryption. XOR encrypt has a 3.5 of 5 editors rating from softpedia http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Encrypting/XOR-Encrypt.shtml

The name leet stands for "Linux exquisite encryption tool", it will be a software application for on-the-fly encryption, similar in its functionality to TrueCrypt. The goal of leet however is to be simpler and as user friendly as possible, making encryption and securing of information accessible to anybody, even those who don't necessarily have any prior knowledge of data securing, algorithms and encryption. However it's not targeted at this group of users only, part of the ambition of this project is to reach companies, institutions, governments (etc...) as well.
