All Security & Crypto

Why client-side cryptography matters

Every cryptographic primitive on this page — AES-256 encryption, PBKDF2 password hashing, HMAC signatures, secure random generation — is implemented using the Web Crypto API built into every modern browser. That's an audited, hardware-accelerated implementation maintained by the same teams that ship Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Running it client-side means: (1) we don't see your secrets, (2) you don't trust us with the implementation (you trust your browser), (3) there's no network latency, and (4) it works offline.

What's a 'safe' password in 2025?

NIST's current guidance: 12+ characters, no forced complexity rules, no periodic rotation, checked against breach databases. The Password Strength Tester on this page calculates entropy (the log2 of the password space your character set + length defines). 60+ bits is the minimum recommendation, 80+ bits is comfortable for sensitive accounts. The Password Generator produces 64-bit-entropy passwords by default. Pair with a password manager (Bitwarden, 1Password) — humans shouldn't memorize more than one or two strong passwords.

WordPress security essentials

If you run WordPress, the Salt Generator is non-negotiable: the AUTH_KEY block in wp-config.php should be regenerated after any compromise, when removing a compromised admin, and ideally every 6-12 months. The 2FA QR Generator helps set up TOTP-based two-factor authentication using authenticator apps like Authy or Google Authenticator. The HMAC Generator validates webhook signatures from services like Stripe, GitHub, and most modern APIs — never trust a webhook without verifying its signature.

Frequently asked questions

Is browser AES-256 as secure as server-side AES-256?
Yes — both use the same algorithm. The Web Crypto API is FIPS-compliant where applicable. The thing browser crypto can't do is keep secrets from a malicious or compromised browser (browser extensions, malware). For high-value secrets, an HSM or server-side KMS is stronger.
Why use PBKDF2 instead of bcrypt for password hashing?
bcrypt requires a server library. PBKDF2 is built into every browser via Web Crypto. Both deliberately slow down brute-force attacks; with 100,000 iterations, PBKDF2-SHA256 provides equivalent practical security.
How does ROT13 differ from real encryption?
ROT13 (and Caesar cipher) shift letters by a fixed amount — trivially reversible without a key. They're educational/obfuscation tools, not security. Use AES-256 for actual encryption.
