Scrambled-Egg project

Scrambled-Egg is made for compressing and encrypting your data. It’s intuitive and fast. The input data can be: plain text, formatted text, or a binary file (currently not supported from GUI). The result can be kept/sent as printable plain text, or as a little square image.

Scrambled-Egg is not a text editor. If you want to use formatted text, write your text in a text processor (Microsoft Word, Open Office, etc), then paste, or drag and drop the formatted text in the left text-box.

The original data is scrambled in 3 steps:

• Step 1 (pre processing) : No processing, ZLIB, BZ2, or ROT13
• Step 2 (real encryption) : AES, ARC2, Blowfish, CAST, DES3, RSA, or No encryption
• Step 3 (post processing) : Base64, Base32, HEX, Quopri, String escape, Json, XML, or UU Codec

All 3 steps are important, you should use them all. The password is optional, and it’s only used in step 2 (encryption). Step 3 (post processing) is required, the rest are optional.

There are 3 methods to encrypt you data: first is by using the graphical user interface ; second method is in command line ; third requires to know a little Python, you can import the ScrambledEgg class and use it in your Python program.

The Python API is heavily tested, on hundreds of files, but unfortunately, the GUI has a few bugs that I can’t fix, because they are hard to kill and I need more time. The good news is that I’m working on a new version that will run in browser, it will fix the bugs and will look much better. There will be some new features too.
