CryptoData: Encrypt & Decrypt Messages and Sites in Firefox

CryptoData is a highly secure Firefox add-on that offers swift encryption and decryption capabilities. Whether it's private messages, web content, or even images, CryptoData ensures your information remains private by using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), a US military-grade encryption process. It works only on the client side, keeping any data you process safe from external attacks or intercepts. It's not only for personal use - webmasters can also use CryptoData to encrypt server-side content, adding an additional layer of security to their websites.
