Strengthened Clipboard Paste function

For smartphones, the AES+ and 3DES versions of the app have been updated with a more robust paste-from-Clipboard-to-Textbox logic. Note: This modification does not solve the insidious operating system error in older models of Samsung Galaxy phones. (The encryption apps designed for Android tablets did not require this update.)

Clipboard crashes on Samsung affecting apps
From summer 2012, there has been a sleeping bug in the Samsung operating system that is intimately related to their proprietary Clipboard software code. Apparently, after repeated clipboard operations (some report the count as 20), the Samsung operating system is crippled...causing repeated system crashes/reboots. This is not the fault of any of the AES+ or 3DES apps released by this author. Use Google search and the keywords "samsung clipboard crash" or similar to research the scope of this problem.

"Share" button replaces "Send SMS" button

The ability to forward encrypted text by using additional apps on the Android device has been added to all Version 3 releases. There was user demand that more than just the Message app be made available from the touch screen, so now Gmail (for example) can be easily exploited to transmit ciphered messages.

In addition, 2 very minor bugs were corrected that prevent the apps from gracefully rejecting corrupted messages from trying to be decoded/decrypted.      

Source Code Revelation

The app's source code is the brainchild of the author and its release therefore remains a low priority objective. Note that the ability to peruse the app's software would not assist in deciphering purloined encrypted messages. It'd still take brute force methodologies to attack a coded string. I will add that it's no secret that the app's Unicode "Box Character" encoding system is only sugar coating and not secure. It would be the 3DES or AES algorithms (with tweaks) from the Java library that provides a measure of data security.  

SMS functionality added in Version 2.0

A new "Send-SMS" button was added to make it easier for sending encrypted text via the Android device's standard text message program. Data contained in Textbox is automatically copied into the form's template. These encrypted messages are displayed in the text message in-box as re-encoded "%-pairs". Logic has been added so that these %-pair strings can be decrypted in the normal manner. Finally, a free version of the AES-engined Cryptxphile has been released: Crypt2phile.   

Cryptxphile Released

Cryptxphile is identical to Cryptophile except that the "encryption engine" has been upgraded in order to give users more data security. The Triple-DES algorithm has been replaced by 128-bit AES that uses a randomly generated "salt" string to provide more protection against brute force attacks. And the user-supplied encryption keys can now be up to 12 characters in length. Sooo, if you believe your secret text data is of "state secret" caliber, then Cryptxphile is your preferred app.   

Tweaked two text strings in app

Two minor adjustments have been performed: First, a new status line message was added when the encryption process completes; and second, an existing User Interface field descriptor was slightly rewritten. These changes in Version 1.7 are released today.
