[Feature Request] Encrypt backups #84

Open UltraFeed opened 2 months ago

UltraFeed commented 2 months ago

Encrypt backup archives with password used to acess the app, or make it optional

clach04 commented 2 months ago

If this is implemented, AE-2 - AES-256, https://www.winzip.com/en/support/aes-encryption/ is a good choice.

You can simply encrypt your zip backups using openkeychain app. Easy peasy.

It would be much more convenient not to use third-party encryption apps

I do not need this feature, but I'd recommend adding a help-wanted tag (potentially leaving open rather than closed for discoverability).

This is a useful enhancement, if implemented, it means at no point is plain text sitting in storage on the device. Having a plaintext zip would be extremely useful to an attacker 😈 .

Note potential for leakage of file names inside zip if implemented, it wouldn't be a silver bullet ;-)

Again, for my use cases I'm OK with current implementation.

Thanks again for making this available! You've been busy this weekend with 2.0.5 😀

good idea, I'll keep it open.

Man, been really busy this week, both with work and SafeSpace, but, will continue to contribute to the fight for privacy no matter how small :)
