Minimalist encryption applications Minilock in the Chrome App Store is officially online, the specific operating principles have been talked about, here do not repeat. How to use it? Please look directly at the picture:
After downloading, you will be prompted to set up a very complex password. Three uncle because really the brain is disabled then uses the default password ... This password is your login password.
Password settings, the system will give you a 40-digit public key, that is, the image of the Minilock ID, when the friend has your ID, you can have some encrypted files to share with you.
Conversely, when you have a friend's ID, you can include them in the list of "allowed to view files." Minilock ID is the channel that a friend gives you permission to read, so you can print it on your business card or share it with anyone in public.
Minilock is a simple operation, with chrome encryption of all your files, including documents, photos, videos and so on. So you can simply keep sensitive or encrypted content in the cloud with Minilock and discard local storage.
The reason for choosing Chrome,minilock founder Kobeissi to Theverge explained:
The Chrome is one of the most secure ecosystems out there.
How safe is chrome? I don't know, but Minilock chose Chrome to represent it at once on Windows, Macs, and Linux.
Focus on encryption or full service?
This should be the next question Minilock need to think about. Unlike encrypted messaging applications or chat tools, Minilock does not help you send files, you and others simply share relationships. After the file has been encrypted successfully, no subsequent value-added services exist.
To this end, Kobeissi is looking for new solutions, such as creating contacts in the Minilock, or expanding the file storage to 50Gb, but the focus of the application of the pain point is this, never "all-purpose" to the XI.
