What is EncryptPad?
EncryptPad is an open-source end-to-end encrypted text editor developed by SpiderOak. It allows users to securely create, store, and share text documents, code, and notes. Some key features of EncryptPad include:
- End-to-end encryption using 256-bit AES in CBC mode to protect files and prevent unauthorized access
- Zero-knowledge architecture - only the user has the encryption keys, not even the EncryptPad server
- Real-time collaborative editing for securely working on documents with others
- Version history so users can revert back to older versions of a document
- User authentication optional - users can use EncryptPad without creating an account
- Attachments allowed for adding files to documents
- Available as a local Electron app for Linux, Mac and Windows as well as a web app
With its focus on privacy and security along with collaborative features, EncryptPad is a good option for those seeking an encrypted alternative to mainstream office suites and text editors. The zero-knowledge architecture ensures private documents remain confidential.
