About SecurePaste

SecurePaste is designed to do 2 things:

• Send pretty documents! Code, calenders or fully-formatted documents.
• Keep your data safe

SecurePaste does this by encoding your data into your shareable URL. This means that:

• The server hosting SecurePaste cannot read / access any of your data
• Your data cannot be censored / expire / be deleted from SecurePaste
• Your data will be available forever
• Optionally, encode your data so only users with the password can access it

Notes:

• First 2 characters in the message are the shortmode codes. This encodes a mode (i.e. how should we display the data? Markdown? Python? etc.) as a 2 character string. (src/editorconfig.ts).
• 3rd character is used to indicate if the message is encrypted(A) or unencrypted(B)
• Other characters used to encode the message.
• Encrypting a message has a certain overhead. (Possible feature: prettier statistics about the output size: how many bytes for control chars, how many bytes for encryption overhead, how many bytes for actual compressed output etc.)
• Due to typing issues, need to add
  • _container: HTMLElement; to the UI interface object in node_modules/@toast-ui/editor/index.d.ts. (line 442)
  • public static plugin: Record<string, Plugin>; to the Editor interface object in node_modules/@toast-ui/editor/index.d.ts. (line 734)
