Enigma CS (Coding Software)

Project News for Enigma CS (Coding Software)

  • End of the road...

    Some 2 years have passed since I last worked on Enigma CS. And although I always wanted to restart work on this project I knew that would be difficult. But one final release must be done. So this is a fitting end to a very dear project of mine. I had a great time writing every line of code (not really every line ;-) bugs do take their toll). It has indeed served it's purpose.I wish to thank everybody who in a way or another helped me!Watch out for future projects!Tundrea Adrian-Costin(project administrator)

  • Enigma CS v0.5.1 (Build 672) Released!

    Enigma CS (Coding Software) v0.5.1 (Build 672) - BETA BUILD

    WARNING 1: BETA BUILD! Preview release only for testing purpose; do not use it for any other purpose!
    WARNING 2: BETA BUILD! Encoded files and keys MAY NOT BE compatible with earlier versions! Disregard for this warning could result in corrupt data!


    + v0.5.1 (Build 672) - BETA BUILD
    - EXTREMLY CRITICAL BUG FIXED: On some computers encoding and decoding would result in corrupt data! After very extensive testing that bug is history!
    - ADDED FULL PROJECT SUPPORT
    * Users can now create, save and load encoding/decoding projects
    * Projects support up to 100.000 files for encoding/decoding (no more 5 files limit) --> encode and decode AS MANY FILES as you need!
    - ADDED PASSWORD MANAGER
    * Use Enigma CS to encode all your passwords making them much more stronger
    * When needed you can recreate them just as easily
    * Save your passwords (your old one and you new encoded one) and a small description into the Password Manager
    * You can view, edit or remove any of the enties from the Password Manager
    * For extra security you can encode all Password Manager files and protect them with a master password
    - Add/Load options to/from the encoded file features (only in text encoding) have been removed because they generated a huge amount of problems with no important advantage!
    - Finally completed the manual! The contents is now up-to-date!
    - 11 more hints added (this bring the hints up-to-date with what Enigma CS has to offer)
    - Other minor UI tweaks, bug fixes and optimizations

  • Future Developments...

    Until August all work on Enigma CS is halted since in June and July I will have some exams decisive for my life. So in case there won't be some really important bugs to be fixed there won't be another update until August. I already have some features I'd like to implement in the future versions, but they'll have to wait.
    I hope you enjoy Enigma CS as much as I did working on it. See you in August...

  • Enigma CS v0.4.1 (Build 571) Released!

    WARNING 1: BETA BUILD! Preview release only for testing purpose; do not use it for any other purpose!
    WARNING 2: BETA BUILD! Encoded files and keys ARE NOT compatible with earlier versions! Disregard for this warning will result in corrupt data!

    + v0.4.1 (Build 571) - BETA BUILD
    - CRITICAL BUG FIXED: On some computers the animation from the Progress Window didn't start properly which caused the following error message "Cannot open AVI"!

    + v0.4.1 (Build 568) - BETA BUILD
    - REWRITTEN THE ENTIRE ENCODING\DECODING SCRIPT:
    * Over 30 times faster encoding\decoding! Yes! 30 times, even faster for larger files (>100Mb)!
    - Old script: 30 Mb file --> ~ 8 minutes for encoding
    - New script: (same) 30 Mb file --> ~ 15 seconds for encoding
    * Despite the speed, security has also been greatly improved especially when encoding with a key!
    * Key security has also been improved by modifying the key structure (which also makes them incompatible with older versions of Enigma CS)
    * Brute force is no longer a viable way of decoding a file without it's key!
    - Users can now change the default key folder (so they can save the key in a different location), but only until Enigma CS is restarted (for security reasons)
    - Redesigned Progress Window (Step 4 of the Wizards):
    * New progress bar and animation added for file encoding\decoding progress
    * Cancel button added (enabled only when the 'Create backup' option has been selected in Step 3 of the Wizards to prevent data loss!)
    - Other minor UI tweaks and bug fixes
