Arcanum Editor is a very small word processing tool that sets itself apart from other similar applications due to an encryption feature. It is capable of protecting text with a user-defined key, and offers support for multiple algorithms, namely AES, Base64, bytes, 1337 speak and Rot13.

Installation is not required, which makes Arcanum Editor portable. You can drop the program files anywhere on the disk and click the EXE to run.

An alternative is to save it to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort, as long as it has .NET Framework installed.

Plus, the Windows registry does not get updated with new keys, and no extra files are created on the disk without your approval.

The interface is similar to the one of a common word processor like Notepad. Arcanum Editor is able to detect URLs, wrap the words, and automatically save the document. Text can be re-aligned or converted to uppercase, lowercase or scentense case (capitalize each word), while font parameters can be edited.

A search function comes in handy while dealing with large amounts of data. You can enter the current date and time stamp. As far as encryption is concerned, all you have to do is select the algorithm and write a password for encoding and decoding text.

Arcanum Editor also integrates options for calculating the MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 and RIPEMD160 signatures for text. Files can be saved to Arcanum (CTXT), plain text (TXT) and RTF format. Undo and redo functions are available.

The app offers multilingual support, has a good response time and leaves a minimal footprint on system resources. It didn't cause us any issues in our tests. To conclude, Arcanum Editor is a great piece of software for encrypting text, and its options are intuitive enough to be learned by anyone.
