The Crypto File Encryption Tool is a cross-platform encryption utility designed to protect files and data when transferring them over a network.
It enables strong, client-side encryption using industry-standard algorithms, ensuring that sensitive files remain protected during storage, sharing, and transmission.
This tool is currently available in beta and continues to evolve based on performance testing and user feedback.
Encryption Capacity
Encryption capacity is determined primarily by the available RAM memory on your device.
Aside from hardware limitations, there are no enforced size restrictions on files or data being encrypted.
All encryption and decryption processes are performed locally.
Encryption Modes
The Crypto File Encryption Tool currently supports two encryption methods:
• AES File Encryption
• Vector Encryption
Each mode is optimized for different use cases.
AES File Encryption
Purpose
AES File Encryption is designed for general-purpose file protection, allowing you to encrypt any file format before sharing or storing it.
Base Features
• Access directories or encrypt individual files via drag and drop
AES-256 encryption logic
• Off-storage decryption (no server-side file retention)
• Available on Linux, Windows, and macOS
Base Advantages
This mode provides a simple and reliable way to convert any file into an encrypted format using a widely trusted encryption standard.
It is suitable for documents, archives, media files, and other common data types.
How to Use
1. Download the latest version of the tool
2. Set an encryption password
3. Select a directory or drop a file into the application
4. Use the same process to decrypt the file
Vector Encryption
Purpose
Vector Encryption is optimized for efficient encrypted transfer, particularly for larger files or scenarios where memory usage matters.
Instead of encrypting files as-is, this method converts data into vector-based encrypted output for transmission.
Base Features
• Drag and drop vector images or paste encrypted text
AES-256 encryption logic
• Off-storage decryption
• Available on Linux, Windows, and macOS
Base Advantages
The primary advantage of Vector Encryption is reduced memory usage when encrypting and transmitting larger files.
This makes it especially useful for network-based transfers where efficiency and encryption strength must coexist.
How to Use
1. Download the latest version of the tool
2. Set an encryption password
3. Select a directory or drop a file into the application
4. Use the same process to decrypt the file
Designed for Local Control
The Crypto File Encryption Tool does not rely on cloud storage or external servers.
All encryption and decryption operations occur locally on your device, ensuring that sensitive data remains under your control at all times.
As part of the ionloop ecosystem, this tool reflects the same principles applied across the platform: security, transparency, and user responsibility.
