Safe Notes Version History

5.1.4 AI

September 27, 2025

New features:

• New external language files have been added. With the newest AI

translators, we have made translations into more than 30 of the most

relevant languages as suggested by ChatGPT (Arabic, Belarusian,

Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, English, Esperanto, Finnish, French,

German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Chinese-Simplified,

Chinese-Traditional, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Norwegian,

Persian, Polish, Portuguese-Brasil, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak,

Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese)

• You can edit the AI translation (Google Translate, DeepL, M-Copilot,

ChatGPT) via the direct button in the menu. If you will publish your work

to other people speaking your language, send an edited translation to

translate@artbymind.com

Motivation: For sending a high-quality corrected translation, you get a

very strong license for free.

• If the opened file as a parameter is a bookmark (*.sbk), then the files

stored in it will also be opened

Miscellaneous:

• Modified configuration in the batch file ("OpenAtCursor.bat")

• Safe Notes has new support for over 30 languages that costs over 5000

euros. Please donate if you can.

Info:

• The AI tag stands for Application Improvement. Details can be found below.

5.1.3 AI

August 6, 2025

New features:

• Added Drag&Drop feature for files selection to Signature-Tool and

Encryption-Tool

• Added new setting in options: Allow one/multiple instances of SafeNotes

(previous versions always check if the application is already running)

• Added new button to the button bar: Disable clipboard encryption (or

enable if disabled)

• When reloading a safe file, memory wipe is added (same as when closing

a document)

• Opening a file at the cursor position: Added detection of IP path e.g.

"\\192.168.10.182\Temp\image.png"

Safe Signatures:

• Added LargoWAV support for up to 256TB wav-file length. The official

LargoWav specification is attached to the documentation directory

(LargoWAV.pdf).

• Added DSF support for SONY lossless uncompressed 1-bit DSD.

• Added DFF support for Philips lossless uncompressed/compressed 1-bit

DSD/DST.

• Added automatic conversion of DSF and DFF stereo files from MSB to LSB

and to blocks of size 4096 before hashing. This will allow direct

comparison of 1-bit audio DSD files in different containers.

• Added support for audio hashing over 4GB of raw audio length for

WAV/FLAC/APE.

• If an audio file is detected and audio processing is not allowed, the

question is whether to enable it.

• If an audio file is processed, immediate interruption is possible.

• Added test button "Test last sigp" for simple verification of created

signatures.

• New switch: Automatically Clear LOG with Start button.

Info:

• The AI tag stands for Application Improvement. Versions marked in this

way only have a new application file (SafeNotes.exe), a new description

of changes (History.rtf) and updated signature (VerifyInstall.sigp).

Other changes are only if required by the new application and are all

described in this history file (History.rtf).

• This AI is a fully functional version and is published on the web. Only

various information files are not updated. This will speed up the release

of new versions with interesting new features.

5.1.2

February 29, 2024

New features:

• When you open a Backup file then the application AI(artificial

intelligence) will help you to secure restore it.

• Opening a file at the cursor position or from selected text: Added

detection of "http://" and "https://". Action is defined with the ".html"

extension.

• Safe signature: If an existing signature file is used as input, then a

sort of file names will be offered. This allows a high flexibility when

using an input file that you create manually. Also, an FLIST file (*.flist)

can be used as a file list.

Miscellaneous:

• External language files have been updated (EN, SK)

• Small text changes in different areas (menu items positions, added icons,

etc)

Bug fixes:

• Installer (v510/v511) overwrites old configuration in batch file

("OpenAtCursor.bat") with default - fixed.

Upgrade Info:

• With this version you can directly upgrade any previous installation. If

you have a personal license (Class-A), an upgrade from v5.0.7 or older

will be prompted the registration password to activate the registration.

If you have only Class-B license for one defined computer, created by app

5.0.7 or older, then you must use an identical version of application (and

computer and OS) to activate this license. Needed app version you can

download from a SafeNotes website in the download section under old

versions. A signature file to verify all versions of SafeNotes is included

in this installation to easily verify all install or zip files.

5.1.1

February 7, 2024

New features:

• When you minimize the application, it will be locked. Needed password to

unlock (can be enabled/disabled via Options).

• Added feature to search text in all open documents - a very powerful

feature for users who use Safe Notes extensively with their documents

• Search AI logic was improved: The "wrap around" option is shown only if

it has a logic. Switching tab/document will close the Search dialog.

• Safe signature: An existing signature file can be used as an input file

for the file list (this makes it easy to recreate a new signature after

some files have been changed)

• An improved algorithm for calculating password quality when entering

unicode characters

• File info panel - added security info for saved SNF files (file security

in bits)

• Not successfully decrypted documents have a different icon on the tabs.

And special or read-only files also have different icons. The instant

overview is greatly improved by this.

• Options/Edit Configuration Files - added the ability to view/edit the

"Open at Cursor" batch file

Miscellaneous:

• The registration was opened for the year 2024. Limited, because it is

dependent on donations and unfortunately the main sponsor of our ArtbyMind

projects died due to the covid "pandemic" in January 2021. Please donate

now, your 5 euros/dollars is a small value for you, but a big value for

ArtbyMind.

• External language files have been updated (EN, SK, DE, CZ)

• About/Security info - added new information

• Small text changes in different areas (menu, about, safe signature,

encrypt tool, puzzle, options, pwd dialog)

Bug fixes:

• After open and close "Increase security" option without increasing, will

be set security to 128-bit even at licensed users - fixed

5.1.0

March 21, 2023

New features:

• See version 5.1.0 RC

• Added internal audio decoders: WAV, FLAC and APE

• After minimizing, Lock app (can be enabled/disabled via Options)

Miscellaneous:

• The registration was opened for the year 2023. Limited, because it is

dependent on donations and unfortunately the main sponsor of our ArtbyMind

projects died due to the covid "pandemic" in January 2021. Please donate

now, your 5 euros/dollars is a small value for you, but a big value for

ArtbyMind.

• External language files have been updated (EN, SK)

Info:

• Over the past twelve months, version 5.1.0 RC has been extensively and

precisely tested.

• This is a normal version and is published on the web. The previous "Release

Candidate" was only distributed to a special group of registered Safe

Notes users.

• The supported audio file types are WAV, FLAC and APE. The use of the

external universal-audio-library-package was removed. Direct support for

WV, ALAC, AIFF, OGG, DFF, DSF and MP3 audio formats has been disabled.

Unsupported files need to be converted to WAV/FLAC/APE with external

application for detailed audio process in the signature tool. We cannot

purchase an external license without a donation from users.

Planned:

• Videos on how to use many of the features

• New encryption code for fast encryption of very large files and with full

support for unicode file names. The write/verify will be handled in blocks

and not for the whole document as with small/normal files.

5.1.0 RC (not oficially published)

March 21, 2022

New features:

• We are music lovers. With the new Safe Signatures tool, you can securely

identify and verify your audio files for the first time in the history

of music distribution.

• The encryption tool has a new dialog mode. You can set "Standard" or

"Source to Target" mode, which is the equivalent of the file-copy function

in the two panels file managers.

• File encryption can be used directly from TotalCommander via the included

plugin. Highly recommended for TotalCmd users, this is a must-have

TotalCmd security update.

• Open the file at the cursor position or from the selected text. You can

define any type of file to be opened (audio, video, text, image,...) using

third-party applications (or your own). The settings are in the ini-file

and the batch file.

• Open a directory at the cursor position or from selected text using the

explorer or third-party applications (e.g. file commanders).

• The plug-in encryption module (SCX) is now available for all users (in

advanced user mode). You can use absolutely any encryption via the plugin.

You can write your own encryption plugin and add it to the cascade.

• Various encryption plugins are included (CAMIND, ARC4, TLUC, TRND,

DemoDUMMY) with source code, even with military grade encryption and

16384-bit keys.

• Improved the Request for License or for Certificate (Safe e-Messages)

• Creating automatically registration info documents

• New option settings for password dialog, also saving rtf/txt dialog only

once

• After password dialog closing, hide stored password (can be

enabled/disabled via Options)

• After minimizing, hide stored password (can be enabled/disabled via

Options)

• Options/Open Settings File - added the ability to view/edit the "INI" file

Miscellaneous:

• Changed password save dialog - default password for save is now the

original password used for open (up to 5.0.9 default was the new password)

• The default copy from public files to clipboard is unencrypted (can be

turned off in Options)

• The password dialog always shows advanced information (position,

repeating), can be enabled/disabled with Options

• Find can search with wrap around

• New default automatic names for bookmarks and clipboard saving (derived

from date and time)

• Bookmarks saved with cursor position. Ini files can also be loaded as a

bookmark.

• TrueCrypt container armor - This tool replaces the hidden undocumented

encryption key stored in TC containers with random data (or restores the

original contents). Only for real IT professionals! This tool is

distributed from version 5.0.1 but used only by special group of users

via special switch.

• The random salt when using the SCX plugin is reduced to 192 bits and the

last 64 bits are the SCX ID.

• Advanced user mode is always allowed when SK language is selected (no

free/personal registration key required). Also, the subkey is increased

to 160-bit.

• The encryption tool use compression before encryption if it has an

advantage

• Save question for RTF/TXT is displayed only on the first save. Unchanged,

a prompt is always displayed when the Save As option is used.

• New philosophy of security enhancement options (with puzzle). Also for

registered if license is not maxed (via Options window).

Purchased/donated license has no limit and can increase security

everytime in unlimited steps, others only in one step.

Safe e-Messages (Safe Mail):

• The POSTOFFICE/e-Postman signature key, the Safe384VR is replaced with

two new keys, P256k1 and BrainpoolP512r1. The changes were necessary to

make Safe Signature compatible for verification with third party

applications (e.g. OpenSSL, PGP/GPG)

• Public ECC keys are stored in e-Postman in compressed format and without

unused parameters.

• The old POSTOFFICE/e-Postman are fully functional, but you need a new one

to use the Safe Signature.

• Better navigation when changing the PostOFFICE password

• The verifiable random source for ECC256k1 and ECCSign has been changed

from 4096-bit source to 512-bit source and the "Bitcoin" key derivation

function ("Ultra-Safe" type) is used. This allows a clear and secure

integration of the bitcoin wallet into POSTOFFICE. It also allows the

association of PostOFFICE with a bitcoin address; with the maximum

security key in PostOFFICE.

• The calculated BTC addresses and private keys are displayed in the

PostOFFICE detail. Calculated BTC addresses and public keys are displayed

in the postman (RAW) detail. The data is calculated from 256-bit koblitz

ECC keys.

• RSA key generation - The Miller-Rabin test now uses 1024 rounds (previous

versions used 80 rounds) with the OpenSSL library. The internal test has

80 rounds (previous versions used 54 internal rounds).

• The public exponent for over 2048-bit RSA has changed from

5AFE64B17C0D3299 to 5AFE64B17C0DE999, both 64-bit primes. Standard

security uses a value of 65537 (17-bit).

• The prime number test for 64-bit versions is exact, for larger numbers

is used the Miller-Rabin test with user-defined rounds (up to 524288).

• POSTOFFICE, e-Postman, e-Message always use compression and 6 root

ciphers. Any external SCX cipher can be used as an added 7th cipher (this

can be enabled/disabled with Options). Until version 5.0.9, the

compression/encryption setting was used according to the Options setting.

Safe Signatures:

• This is a new, amazing tool that can sign/verify any file or a whole group

of files in an unlimited directory structure

• Has a special process for audio files. Can only sign/verify the included

audio stream for known PCM/DSD audio formats with 32/24/16/1-bit (WAV,

AIFF, MP3, OGG, FLAC, ALAC, APE, WV, DSF, DFF containers) with defined

SNR sensitivities to detect gaps in the beginning and end of the music.

• You can use the new open standard "Safe Signature" with a human-readable

format, for thousands of files in tree structures, with 8 different

hashes, 3 independent signing keys, SafeNotes signature, 5 different

audio hashes from the internal audio stream, smart CRC/hash calculated

only from music data whose level is not zero or exceeds the defined noise

level (-12dB to -96dB) also using adaptive auto-detected background

noise.

• Signed files can be verified using third-party applications (OpenSSL,

PGP, etc.) and also standard generated checksums (SHA256, MD5, etc.) can

be verified by a third party.

• Paranoid Button: Files signed with the "Safe Signatures" tool can be

verified using a third-party OpenSSL application immediately with an

automatically generated batch file. This third party verification is

similar to the verification in Bitcoin tools.

• You can also create an (in our opinion already obsolete) OpenSSL signature

for only one file, with a human-unreadable format, without any information

about the signer and keys used. Signed files can be verified using

third-party application OpenSSL immediatly with button-click.

• You can verify files using their OpenSSL signatures.

• The Signature Tool can also be used commercially with minimal

restrictions, see the license text in the Safe Signatures form (Show more

options|Show info about...).

Bug fixes:

• Public file with unknown extension when "Save as" without extension and

with file filter [*.*] became .png extension - fixed.

• Postman import, when lines were modified when transferred via

mail/clipboard, import was not possible - fixed (fixed by reformatting

line spacing)

• Installer (setup v508 and v509) overwrites old configuration with default

(INI file) - fixed.

Info:

• Distribution include the SCX Plugin for SafeNotes with military grade

encryption CAMIND, with precise documented source code (password will

come after the patent is published by the patent office)

• Source code and Crypto-Plus-Library are included in the installation, no

separate download is required.

• All packages include a Safe Signature file for easy verification of

installed files.

• The SafeNotes plugin for TotalCommander for easy file encryption or

sign/verify operation are included in the distribution.

design. Charts contains the entire history of computer performance. It

can display the real strength of entered passwords for many popular

encryption tools such as TrueCrypt, Keepass, PasswordSafe, 7zip,

VeraCrypt, etc. It also includes high grade approximation of the future

progress of decryption for the next millennium.

• Steganography, hiding information inside the picture so thats it is

impossible to detect this. It meets the strongest military standards. If

you use a good cover photo, then can be used maximum security setup with

automatic picture size reduction. Steganography uses its own encryption

safe-key with 2240-bit, 6-ciphers cascade and 256-bit salt. This is

independent from original safe-key. It is also possible to use a different

password from the original password used to encrypt snf file (but it's

paranoid:^).

• Wipe tool, this is a sensitive data destruction tool, for secure delete

files or free space wipe from hard drive or memory keys. You can choose

from five different algorithms, such as U.S. DoD 5220.22-M(E) or Gutmann

method.

• Encrypt tool, re-encrypt all SafeNotes files with new password on one

click, and much more.

Catmull-Rom, Mitchell, Gausian and other resample filters.

• Tools menu reorganization.

• Added Demo License support, for testing.

• Added Student/PoPe License support, for poor persons. With full unlimited

funcionality after logical tests (brainteaser).

• Added Donation License support, for persons that have us donated. We hope

that donation limit of 4 euros is enough low for anybody.

August 22, 2016

Miscellaneous:

• First published version on the web

• Cryptographic functions as SHA1, RipeMD160, Tiger2, SHA256, RipeMD320,

SHA512, PBKDF2, BCrypt, SafeCrypt are used for key creation. The number

of iterations is 52224. Ciphers for encryption are AES(256),

Blowfish(448), Twofish(256), IDEA(128), CAST6(256) and Serpent(256).

They are used one after another in cascade with separate keys and

initialization vectors. SafeNotes uses three independent keys, one for

head, one for salt and one for data encryption. This will increase the

need for keys to 6720-bit. Encryption far exceeds the strongest military

standards. Data is packed before encryption.

• Source code with all resources was published in SNF format.

• All 4.9 and higher versions are also available as a Personal Edition that

is free for non-commercial private use.

Registration:
