When it comes to file security, there are several measures you can take. One of them is to add all of them to a password-protected archive, but if you’re only interested about text, a simple solution is to use specialized applications like Portable CryptNote to only scramble letters until the proper password is provided.
Just like the name clearly states, this application requires no installation in order to properly function, thus offering you the flexibility you need to take it with you, as well as text documents of interest on a thumb drive. Another perk of portability is that system registries remain intact, and so not affecting the stability of the computer you use it on.
The general design is simple, resembling default text editors Windows lets you work with. Most of the space is where all the text goes, with an upper toolbar to access all save, open, and encryption options.
It’s best you set a master password as soon as you run the application, otherwise it gets difficult to even open a different one later on. Make sure to remember it, because it’s the only way you can open, or at least decrypt documents later on. The process of adding a password doesn’t take more than writing it down, and confirming, without any limit to characters.
Exporting can seem a little tricky at first. This is because the application doesn’t necessarily target a specific format, which means you need to manually write it down, otherwise you end up with a plain file. Although there’s no option to modify font settings of any kind, you can also save as RTF, besides TXT.
In conclusion, Portable CryptNote offers a basic method of keeping confidential text files all to yourself. Unfortunately, even in its simplicity, it manages to be a little confusing in all its elements, especially when it comes to file support. Exported items can be normally opened with any editor, but you need to get them through the application first in order to decrypt text.
