Alpha Crypt uses MD5 cryptographic signatures
on top of an XOR text encryption algorithm to form a
practically unbreakable hybrid.
Features
Alpha Crypt uses MD5 cryptographic signatures on top of an XOR text encryption algorithm. It is designed for sending messages from anywhere on the Internet, without access to other encryption software. AC will not become confused by text wrapping, missing text, or other mistakes that occur during transmission. By running along a 64-character set, it will not garble binary values, or cause a browser to crash. For this reason, it is especially suited for public free email providers.
Security
Alpha Crypt defeats word-based or probability-based attacks,
as well as overcoming methods which measure statistics based on consistent
input-output.
Speed
Alpha Crypt is faster than other programs, by reducing
cryptology running time primarily to internal bit operations,
compatible with JavaScript browsers, instead of auxiliary
functions.
Encrypt or decrypt messages
Alpha Crypt is offered as-is, without warranty. Although I
would feel safe in saying that no one can read a message I
send with Alpha Crypt, I do not wish to make any legally
binding guarantees, express or implied. You have the freedom
to be secure, but freedom is also your own responsibility.
I take no liability from any use of this software.
Disclaimer: I receive approx. 4-5% of
Amazon's revenue produced by orders
placed after one click's on the preceding
advertisement, within the same
browsing session[footnote](i.e., if one
immediately thereafter searches Amazon, places item(s) into
their shopping cart, and
completes one's purchase without closing their window or viewing
any other website).
In Q4 2010, this
amounted to $1.93 + $1.56 (approximately
$1 per month). This trend continues; nevertheless,
I continue to place the advertisement here in
vain hope that someday Amazon's ads will become
more persuasive, drawing in more of the thousands
of daily worldwide users of Alpha Crypt. Today, for
example, if 1,386 individuals placed orders
for $10 each from Amazon.com, then I might earn:
% echo '1386*10*.04' | bc -l $554.40
Update: Reality is bleaker than dreams, however;
in Q1 2011, I received a net total of $1.20,
a whopping 40 cents per month. I know
this is just going to repel even more people
from clicking on the ad and ordering, but I feel
like saying,
"Doesn't anyone realize that if
this software helps you out, then you can
help me out by ordering from Amazon.com
through the link, especially if you were
going to order from Amazon.com anyway--have
mercy on me, even if only 40 cents per month of
mercy!"
Just curious-- does my analysis of the
fruitless results of Amazon.com advertising
make you even less likely to click the
advertisement?
[footnote]: the majority of valid
advertising clicks still end up not being credited
to me due to the "same session" rule of Amazon.
For example, a friend ordered the following binoculars
[
Nikon 7540 Monarch 3 - 8x42 Binocular (Black)
]
and tried to give me credit for hours of help that I
devoted to researching binoculars and some considerable
additional time to explaining their features (e.g.,
why 10x32 is not better for birding at dusk than 8x42).
Due to the innocent fact that my friend searched Google
to compare another pair of binoculars, thus
terminating their browsing "session," I received
not a penny for my long labor of earning money for
Amazon.com.
