Contego Software is a free software project for data encryption of plain text (UTF-8) and compare, verify or generate MD5 and SHA-1 sums for files. The program is licensed under GPL v.3 and may be freely distributed. Is done in Java, which requires the JVM to run.

The program is available for different operating systems:

Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 : Download Contego_v_2_0.exe (Multilingual Version).

Using Contego:

The information below is in aid of the program. It is strongly recommended that it be read because its operation depends on good understanding of this assistance.

This program is designed to encrypt and decrypt a text with UTF-8 Unicode format and compare, verify or generate MD5 and SHA-1 sums for files.

To use it just follow the following steps:

How to encrypt a message:

1 .- Enter in the box above the message to be encrypted.

2 .- Enter a number from 0 to 256 (inclusive) in the "Enter Key".

3 .- Enter a prime number other than 1 or 2 in the "prime number".

4 .- Then press the button "Encrypt". This operation will write the encrypted message in the box below.

5 .- Carefully select the characters that appear. Note that the blank spaces also belong to the encrypted code.

6 .- Press "Ctrl + C to copy the text to the clipboard. Once there you can use the cipher text as you like, you can even send it as email. In the latter case it is recommended that you send the message stored in a file *.* txt format Unicode UTF-8. Due to the characteristics of Java, other formats such as ANSI, or set by default in different email programs, may distort the initial encoding of the message making it unreadable.

How to decrypt a message:

1 .- Select the message to decrypt the file and copy *.* txt received to the clipboard. Make sure you copy all characters of the encryption.

2 .- Press "Ctrl + V" drop it in the text box below.

3 .- Enter the number key in the "Enter Key".

4 .- Enter the appropriate prime number in the "prime number".

5 .- Press "Decrypt". At that time, can decrypt the text and read its contents.

Buttons and Boxes:

-Encrypt: encrypt a message.

-Decrypt: Decrypts a message.

Help: Displays this help.

-Refresh: Internally set to zero all the values of the program. Reset the encryption algorithm.

-Enter Password: First phase of the algorithm. You must use a number between 0 and 256, inclusive. Never write letters.

-Primo Number: Second phase of the algorithm. You must use a prime number. Never use on 1 or 2, or letters.

-Language: It Changes the installation language.

-Sending a query: It opens the predetermined mail client, sending Contego a query mail ().

Note: You can go directly to the official website by simply clicking on the address in the Help screen.

-MD5: Open the screen to calculate MD5.

-SHA-1: Open the screen to calculate SHA-1.

-Enter MD5/SHA-1 to compare: If desired, this label can be entered MD5/SHA-1 value to compare with the already generated by the program file selected. Be sure to enter it without spaces.

-Compare (MD5 or SHA-1): Compares the value entered in paragraph MD5/SHA-1 'Enter MD5/SHA-1 to compare', with that obtained by the program.

-MD5/SHA-1 of file: Open the file selection screen to choose the file on which to calculate the MD5/SHA-1.

-MD5/SHA-1: Indicates MD5/SHA-1 generated by the program. You can copy using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to paste elsewhere.

-Verification: Compare MD5/SHA-1 value obtained from the user-entered for comparison, indicating whether or not correct.

-File: Indicates the path of the selected file.

-Progress: Indicates the percentage of remaining analysis to generate the value MD5/SHA-1 relevant. Time may vary depending on file size and power used computer equipment.

-Close: Closes the screen MD5/SHA-1 and returns to the screen 'Tools'.
