[repost to inform more people about it] An open source data encryption software for steemit users

I repost this article only for informing more people about this software I made.
This encryption tool was developed in Visual Basic 8. This software is to be used  for encrypting any text data. As we know on Steemit Platform we need a very long passphrase to be used. And also  POSTING ,  ACTIVE ,  OWNER &  MEMO private key are very long.  It’s impossible to memorize this passphrases. So, what can we do ? Maximum users saved the data without encrypting it in their note pads, which is very dangerous. If hackers or, anyone get this data then he will gain access our accounts & for a result all accounts shall be compromised. 
So, encryption is very important. Encrypted data can be saved everywhere & also be shared with anyone without any risk. I know there are a lot of free password keepers & encryption programs exist. But, maximum are not open source programs. 
 My main objective is to provide such type open-source program. You may also learn how to develop an encryption tool.

I use AES Rijndael Block Cipher Encryption Algorithm to encrypt text data.
Step by Step Development :
Open a new project in Visual Basic 8. Select “Standard EXE”.
enter image description here
enter image description here
Create two text boxes & two command buttons on the form. Text1 textbox, Text2 textbox, Command1 commandbutton & Command2 commandbutton.
enter image description here
Change the caption of the command buttons from “Command1” to “Encrypt data” & “Command2” to “Decrypt data”.
enter image description here
Add a class module “CRijndael” to the project
enter image description here
Add this following codes to the class module “CRijndael” :

Well Protected 'Great Barrier Reef Corals' Are Now Destroyed

The clearing reefs becoming off 200 hot miles of remote Australian coastline — from Cairns to Cape Melville, home to sugar ranches and jump resorts — contained a portion of the minimum harmed corals developing in one of the world's best marine parks. Up to this point.  In dazzling new discoveries that have uncovered the restrictions of marine parks as protections against quick ecological change, more than half of the corals reviewed in extensive lumps of this immaculate stretch of the Great Barrier Reef are required to soon be dead.  "Reefs that are fit as a fiddle ought to admission better under environmental change," said John Pandolfi, a University of Queensland educator who added to prominent coral reviews, the aftereffects of which were discharged for this present week. "Be that as it may, for this situation, we discovered colossal occasions of coral mortality."  The coral passings took after extreme coral blanching, which was created by a...

Visiting deep inside the Sundarbans & spent days with Bawali - Episode #15

In the last October-November I visited Sundarbans, the world's one of the largest mangrove forest. It was also declared as world heritage site by UNESCO in 1997. In this forest a numerous wildlife species exist - birds, reptiles, fishes, amphibians and also the king of the forest "Royal Bengal Tiger". The ganges dolphins & crocodiles are also living in the canals of Sundarbans. Chital is a one kind of spotted deer living in this forest. The rural life in the area of this coastal forest is also very attractive. They basically maintain their lives by collecting honey, woods and fishes. In the native language they are called as Bawali. I spent some days with them. Here I share some of my tour photographs of Sundarbans and Bawali -- Jungle Look A Bawali is posing in front of my camera Camera : SONY Model : DSC-W710 Location : Sundarbans, West Bengal, India Snap Taken : 05 Nov 2017 To Be Continued...

My Photography of The famous Art School "charukola institute"and Some Sculptures

I took all these photos when last month I visited Bangladesh. This Art School is familiar as "charukola institute". This institute is only for fine arts.  it was established in 1948 as the Government Institute of Arts and Crafts. It was the first  art school  in the region and became the main centre of art and cultural practice. Since 1956 it has been situated in  Shahbag ,  Dhaka , close to the  Bangladesh National Museum . Architect  Muzharul Islam  designed the building. The institute took its current name when it became one of the faculties of Dhaka University in 2008.  Sculptures on the ground of "charukola institute" .............. Last one is photograph of an unknown flower .............

What are bitcoin miners really solving? (collected from web)

What are bitcoin miners really solving? Here is an  extremely  simplified sketch of the problem, but it should give a pretty good idea of what the problem is.  The data:  This is the hash of the lastest block (shortened to 30 characters):   00000000000001adf44c7d69767585 These are the hashes of a few valid transactions waiting for inclusion (shortened).  5572eca4dd4 db7d0c0b845 And this the hash of one special transaction that you just crafted, which gives 25BTC (the current reward) to yourself:  916d849af76 Building the next block:  Now, let's use a gross approximation of what a new block might look  like (the real one uses binary format). It contains the hash of the  previous block and the hashes of those 3 transactions:  00000000000001adf44c7d69767585--5572eca4dd4-db7d0c0b845-916d849af76-- Now let's do mining by hand! Our goal is to complete this block with a  nonce (a piece of garbage) such that the ...

A strong password generator program with source code

In my previous post  https://steemit.com/programming/@royalmacro/a-free-open-source-data-encryption-program-for-steemit-users  I share a data encrypton tool with source code, now, today here I share another program, a strong password generator with source code. This program will generate strong, hard-to-guess passwords. I’ll do it by hashing together “domain name”, “login/user id” & “a secure master key”. If you use the same secure master key for every password generations then you do not need to write down or, memorize your generated passwords. When you need your password then repeat the same procedure to re-generate it. If your “domain name”, “login/user id” & “a secure master key” are not different then you will generate the same password. If you use only one secure master key then you have to only memorize your master key, not the passwords. Lets try it ! Step by Step Development : Open a new project in Visual Basic 8. Select “Standard EXE”. ...

In fact, Ministry of Culture and Information has cautioned the associations of extreme legitimate activity against those that spread fake news. Attorney Majed Garoub stated that : Any media error that is committed via electronic means will be considered a cyber crime and will pose grave consequences. Every crime will be classified under a specific category of cybercrime and will be punishable as per law. The ministry’s sanctions against organizations are not applicable to individuals as it is; there are certain variations such as individuals can expect a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail or up to SR 5 million ($1.3 million) as fine.
