This app looks awesome! Is it still under active development/support?
I'm interested to know if the encryption method is secure enough to use it for restricting access to sensitive information. The app description states it uses base64 encryption. Base64 encoding is easily decoded so would not be secure. Am I missing something or is the implementation insecure?
It uses base64 to store the output of the encryption, not as the 'encryption' algorithm itself. As you can see from the included python files, it supports DES and AES as encryption algorithms.

Great thanks for the info Frank. You prompted me to download the app and have a look at the python. I can see now that it uses pyDes or aes to encrypt now before b64encoding. Nice
