The encryption features of Dark-Fog

Dark-Fog is a file encryption software, with the purpose of securing important files, for save sharing online in cloud storages or on local storages. It offers 2 encryption options with a high security syntax behind it.

Usage and logic of Dark-Fog level 1

Dark-Fog with Encryption-option 1 (will be called V1), is very easy to use. The user just takes the file who he wants to encrypt and chooses a password (up to 32 symbols) which will be used for the encryption. The file(s) will now be securely encrypted with the given password and the syntax it creates. The encrypted file can now be sent online or saved without the risk to be stolen and used. To decrypt a file, you need to enter EXACTLY the password that was given in the process of encryption, or it will be using the wrong syntax generated by the password and only a garbage file will be created. Because Dark-Fog doesn’t use a checksum, it is not possible to say if a password is correct, so there is no way to brute force the right password. To try every possible password will come with a huge effort, because the attacker would need to check every file and needs a lot of system power to do so.

Usage and logic of Dark-Fog level 2

Dark-Fog with Encryption-option 2 (will be called V2), needs a little more effort from the user as V1 but is even more secure. The basics are the same but with a huge difference! In this case the Crypt-Syntax creates a random generated Key-File for every file that will be encrypted. The basic idea is that the encrypted file can be stored as usual online or on a local hard drive, but you also need an authentication-syntax file for the decryption as well as the password. You can now store the sensitive data online with an even more secure level, and simply keep the key-file for it locally saved. If someone now online accesses the data and even knows the password, the attacker has no way to decrypt it since he does not have the necessary values without the key file(s).
