Encryption 1™ • EC-1 Journal • F.A.Q. • Security Guide
It can encrypt files such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, images, ZIP files, text files, and other file types. The tool does not need to understand the contents of the file; it encrypts the file's bytes.
Yes. Encryption 1™ currently supports files up to 10 MB per file. This limit is intentional so the browser-based tool remains lightweight and practical.
Yes. JPG, PNG, GIF, and other image files can be encrypted like other files, provided the file is within the 10 MB limit.
Yes. The application encrypts the file itself, not the document contents as editable text. When decrypted, the original file can be downloaded with its original filename and file type.
Yes, provided the file is no larger than 10 MB.
No. Encryption and decryption are performed locally in your browser. The application is designed so the server does not process, store, or inspect the contents of the files you encrypt.
No. There is no account, signup, or login requirement.
The application is designed to be offline-friendly. The underlying encryption work is performed in the browser rather than by a remote encryption service. A standalone/local copy can be used without an Internet connection when the browser provides the required Web Crypto API.
No software installation is required. It is a browser-based application.
Yes. The encrypted .pvault package is a file and can be moved like other files. Remember that the password should be protected separately.
The encrypted content cannot be recovered through Encryption 1™. The application does not keep a copy of your password. This is an important part of the privacy model.
Not directly. Decrypt the file with the existing password, then encrypt the original file again using the new password.
Yes. The recipient needs the encrypted file and the correct password. For better security, send the password through a different channel than the encrypted file.
No. It is not a password-recovery service. If the correct password is lost, the encrypted content cannot be recovered by the application.
Encryption 1™ is designed to protect the contents of the encrypted package using AES-GCM with a password-derived key. It is not a guarantee against every possible threat.
No. Encryption protects data; it does not protect a person from being tricked into revealing a password, opening a malicious attachment, or sending information to a scammer.
No. If an attacker can observe what you type or access files on your device, local encryption cannot solve that problem. Use an updated, trusted device whenever possible.
No. Encryption protects privacy, not availability. Keep secure backups of important encrypted files.
No security tool should make that claim. Encryption 1™ uses modern, strong browser-based encryption, but overall security also depends on the password, the device, the surrounding environment, and how the user handles the encrypted files.
