BitLocker vs Veracrypt
There's also Picocrypt.

I believe i've completely fvcked up my installation of bitwarden
the last thing i would recommend for you is, if you have that CVS file.... it's probably plain text.... so you should encrypt it using a tool like https://github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocrypt and a pass phrase you can remember... write it down somewhere safe, even.... that way your password list is not wide open and readable *if* an intruder gains access to your system...

Encrypt text
Check out Picocrypt, it might be useful to you for this case

7zip AES-256 & File encryption
If you want more choice of encryption algorithms, try Picocrypt. Veracrypt also has more algorithms and has been audited.

Could you tell what are the similarities and differences compared to picocrypt ?

Does xchacha not follow an open standard?
Hey so when looking at xchacha as it seems to be getting more and more popular in terms of adoption for securing files/messages etc. I noticed that when experimenting and testing file encryption with applications like dexios picocrypt and hat.sh that none of the files could be read/understood by other applications. While this doesn't happen with alot of other apps/algos likes aes afaik.

If you have created an app with encrypted data and/or HIPAA compliance considerations, what packages and resources did you use?
PyCryptodome

Daily General Discussion - December 28, 2022
Install pycryptodome instead, it's forked from pycrypto (which is dead) and is actively maintained by the same team.
- pycryptodome vs pycryptodomex is there a difference?
- Weird error when running revdep-rebuild (failed to split pycryptodome package)

Please Help. I have installed everything yet tnote dos note work, there is nothing on the net now.
The specific bug you are having is in this issue of PyCrypto. That said, tnote should move on as PyCrypto is no longer maintained.. Ideally, tnote could migrate to PyCryptodome which is a near drop in replacement for PyCrypto, so "potentially" a single line of code change.

Hello there, I have something to ask for those who use tidal-dl on termux to download hi-res music. I was new to this and i followed every command on downloading tidal-dl, but whenever I've got in "pip3 install --upgrade tidal-dl" it always ended up like this, I'm so tired try and tried it again.
Possibly not a termux only issue (see this).

Picocrypt - A FOSS 3MB Encryption Tool!
I know what you mean and I understand your concern. As it currently stands, I can say with a high level of confidence (although not complete) that Picocrypt is very secure. That's because Picocrypt uses ChaCha20, which is a simple cipher to implement correctly and without errors. It's extensively documented. I have a solid understanding of cryptography and I carefully choose a Python cryptography library with over 1k stars do implement ChaCha20. I know that there's a lot of responsibility when making security software, which is why I'm accepting donations to get Picocrypt audited as soon as possible (ideally within a year). Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it.
