Enkripsi File

(Documentation in English)

What it does

The File Encryptor locks any file with AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption, entirely in your browser. You pick a password; the tool derives a 256-bit key from it with PBKDF2-SHA256 (100,000 iterations) and a fresh random 16-byte

, then seals the file with a random 12-byte IV. The output file is salt (16 B) + IV (12 B) + ciphertext + GCM tag (16 B) - exactly 44 bytes larger than the input. Decryption reverses the process: it reads the

and IV, re-derives the key from your password, and verifies the GCM authentication tag before releasing a single byte of plaintext. 100% client-side - the file and the password never leave your machine.

How to use it

1. Pick Encrypt or Decrypt with the toggle.
2. Drag a file into the drop zone (or click it to browse). Any file type works.
3. Type a password. Use the eye button to show or hide it.
4. Press Encrypt file / Decrypt file. The result downloads automatically, with the original and output sizes compared so you can see the 44-byte overhead.

Examples

Encrypt a report:

invoice.pdf (218.4 KB) + password correct horse battery staple → invoice.pdf.enc (218.5 KB, +44 B)

Decrypt it back:

invoice.pdf.enc + the same password → invoice.pdf, byte-for-byte identical to the original

Wrong password:

invoice.pdf.enc + any other password → Decryption failed: wrong password or corrupted file. - the GCM tag check fails and nothing is written.

Good to know

• Zero server contact: everything runs via the browser’s Web Crypto API. No uploads, no logs, no accounts. You can disconnect from the network and the tool still works.
• Why AES-256-GCM? It is an authenticated cipher: the 16-byte tag proves the file was not modified after encryption. Tampering with any byte - ciphertext, IV, or

  - makes decryption fail loudly instead of returning corrupted data.
• Why PBKDF2 with 100k iterations? Key stretching makes each password guess expensive, so brute-forcing a stolen .enc file from a short password is dramatically slower than trying raw keys.
• Password strength is the whole security model. There is no key recovery, no escrow, no reset. If you forget the password, the file is unrecoverable - by design.
• The same file encrypted twice produces different output every time, because the

  and IV are freshly random per encryption.
