An encrypted notebook (created by Bitwise-01)

Notebook

An app you can trust your secrets with.
This app uses AES-128 GCM to prevent anyone but you from accessing your notes.

How does work?

Register

1. Generates a 16-bytes (128-bits) AES key
2. Derives a master key from your password
3. Encrypts AES key using master key
4. Hashes your password
5. Saves hashed password to database
6. Saves encrypted AES key to database

Login

1. Derives a master key from your password
2. Saves master key into your browser's session

Encrypt data

1. Gets your master key from your session
2. Uses your master key to decrypt your AES key
3. Uses your decrypted AES key to encrypt your data

Decrypt data

1. Gets your master key from your session
2. Uses your master key to decrypt your AES key
3. Uses your decrypted AES key to decrypt your data

Notice:

Your master key is only derivable from your plain-text password
Your plain-text is only available when you are logging in
Your master key is never saved into a database
Your decrypted AES key is never saved

Warning:

If you lost your password, then your notes will be lost as well
