Ask HN: Is it enough to use XOR encryption for my journal app?

3•finnvyrn•2h ago
I don't want my employees or myself to see the user's data in the backend. Considering it's just a journal app, is it enough to use XOR encryption in the client, or do I need to use something else?

Comments

At least double XOR it, then it's fairly safe and while not quantum safe, it'll keep them wondering.
theandrewbailey•1h ago
XOR alone isn't encryption. Just use AES and other conventional encryption algorithms.
wryoak•23m ago
What are your users journaling about? Do you think it’s possible they could be journaling about things that, in their region, could lead to prosecution? Ostracization? Take your user’s security seriously. You don’t know what they are putting in “just a journal app”
