Data Encryption Workbook

I’ve just made this easy to use data encryption tool. The encryption algorithm is taken from Rob Bovey’s site.

You can drop your data on to the worksheet (you can add extra worksheets too if you like) and then encrypt the data with the press of a button. You will be asked to provide a key, which you must remember. Save the file and send it out.

The receiver can then contact you for the key. When they click the decrypt button it will ask them for the key, if they enter it correctly it will return the original data. If they enter the wrong key the data will be encrypted again.

I have not tested this much, so make sure you back up your originals and remember there is not such thing a truly save data!

If you have any questions or suggestions drop me a comment.

Enjoy!

    Hi Ross,

    This is about yours utility MIE_EncryptDecrypt
    Try the following
    Encrypt the Data using any password e.g., 1234
    Now again press on Encrypt the data and use a different password e.g., abcd
    The data will get decrypted.
    Simple

    If you enter a key of 12345678, you get an error and the first data item is wiped.

    Hi Bob,

    Nice to see you here.

    Hi Ross,
    I tried using a password like 123456789, and it say “Sorry there has been an error. It is likely the key you provided is not good. Try another”. I encrypted using 123456 and decrypted using 112233 and it worked.
