Obsidian Inline Encrypter Plugin

Overview

Encrypt your secrets in the Obsidian.md notes.

This is a simple plugin for encrypting the text in Obsidian notes just inline. It was inspired by Obsidian Encrypt Plugin.

⚠️ WARNING: Use at your own risk. Your passwords are never stored anywhere. If you forget your passwords you can't decrypt your notes. Do not give access to your files to a third party to avoid possible decryption of data.

You can encrypt all the text in a note, as well as parts of it, such as the contents of lists, tables, etc. The encrypted value is saved directly in the note as a block of code and appears as a button in reading mode.

You can use external decryptor tool to decrypt secrets outside Obsidian: tools/decrypt.html. It's just one HTML file which you can open in your browser.

Security Notes

• Decrypted content is only held in memory
• No automatic writing of decrypted content to disk; the only time a decrypted secret is written to disk is when you use the "Decrypt selected text" command
• Passwords are never written to disk; they are kept only in memory
• Makes encryption with a given passphrase, if you lose your passphrase, you lose your data

Technical Notes

Encryption algorhytm is aes-256-gcm. Salt and IV are unique and random.
