Overview
A Dart library for encrypting and decrypting data using the AES Crypt file format. It supports securing plain text, files, and binary data with strong encryption. Designed for cross-platform use, it enables developers to implement secure data handling in Flutter applications. The library follows the widely recognized AES Crypt standard, ensuring compatibility and reliability. It is ideal for scenarios requiring privacy-preserving storage or transmission of sensitive information.
Use cases
- Encrypting user data before storage
- Securing configuration files
- Protecting sensitive text in apps
- Transferring encrypted files between devices
- Storing credentials securely
- Complying with data protection regulations
Key features

- Supports text, files, and binary data
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Simple API for encryption/decryption
- Uses industry-standard AES algorithm
- Open-source and actively maintained
Suitable for
- Apps needing secure local data storage
- File-sharing applications with privacy
- Password managers
- Secure note-taking apps
- Applications handling sensitive user information
- Developers prioritizing data security
Considerations
