Encryption

WDMRC can encrypt files on the fly, fully transparent to whatever WebDAV client you are using. That means that only encrypted files will be stored in the cloud (along with some service files), and when downloaded, original files will be saved to your device.

XTS AES-256 encryption is used.

How to

To use encryption, you must specify the encryption key in your login information

1. Add a separator indicator to your login: example@mail.ru#_MySeparator_ where:

example@mail.ru is your normal login adress

# is the delimeter for WDMRC

_MySeparator_ is ANY string that will separate the encryption key from your password in the next step. You can also use _key_, _SEP_ or whatever that is NOT otherwise present in your password or encryption key.

2. Generate a long key that you will use for encryption. We will use ThisIsAWeakKey in this example.

SAVE IT! Remember it as well as your own password! If you lose this key, you will lose access to all encrypted files!

3. Add the separator and the encryption key to your password: myVeryStrongPassword_MySeparator_ThisIsAWeakKey
4. Now use these as your login and password when you connect to WDMRC:

Our WDMRC login is example@mail.ru#_MySeparator_

Our WDMRC password is myVeryStrongPassword_MySeparator_ThisIsAWeakKey

5. Now you can mark any directory for encryption using >>crypt init command
6. Upload files to this directory then check the result online using your web browser. The files in the online cloud should be encrypted and an additional service file added.
