MySecret

MySecret is a secure note manager.
It allows you to safe your notes with password, encryption and encoding. MySecret uses tree layers of security:

• AES-256 Encryption
• Base64 Encoding
• SHA-256 Hashing

Requirements

• Ruby
• Gem (this usually comes with Ruby)
• Secrets (You want to save something into your notes, right?)

Usage/Examples

MySecret's main menu looks like this, you can create a new encrypted note, read an encrypted note, edit an encrypted note, delete a note encrypt a raw file, decrypt a encrypted file, change file password or exit.

$ ruby ~/MySecret/main.rb

notes: 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 
========== MySecret ==========
[1] Create new note
[2] Read a note
[3] Edit a note
[4] Delete a note
[5] Encrypt a note
[6] Decrypt a note
[7] Change secret key
[8] Change text editor
[0] Exit
> | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 0 |

After that, it will ask you for a secret key, which is a file password. (MySecret will hash this password using SHA-256)
If it's your first time running MySecret you need to select a text editor to write down your file, select one of the options, and your text editor will magically open and you can write all your notes safelly. Your default editor will be saved at a configuration file located at home/.config/MySecret, you can delete it to reset your preference and choose another. configuration file: editor.config

file name: MySecret
$ secret key: MyPassword
=================================
Select your favorite text editor:
[0] Nano
[1] VI
[2] VIM
[3] NeoVim
[4] Emacs
[5] Notepad
> | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |

After saving and exiting from your file, your note will be automatically encoded and encrypted, and you can access it from the MySecret's menu to decrypt and read it.
