Using Encryption |
Yojimbo’s encryption feature is very easy to use. To encrypt an item, click the Encrypt button in the Item Details bar.
To temporarily view the content of an encrypted item, click the View button in the Item Details bar. The item’s content will be displayed, yet the item will remain encrypted on disk.
Encryption commands are also available in the Item menu, or in Yojimbo’s contextual menus.
To permanently Decrypt an item, choose Decrypt from the Item menu.
Boring detail: Yojimbo encrypts data with AES-256. The key used is based on a pseudo-random number, and is created the first time you encrypt an item. The key is protected with your Yojimbo password.
Items that are Encrypted are stored on disk in encrypted form, and remain encrypted when being synchronized with .Mac.
