Website update and maintenance for Android (3.32) has been rolled out

06.05.2026

Dark-Fog(+) in all its versions for Windows and Android, has received an update with focus on UI quality of life improvements next to receiving the new feature "extanded message encryption" DFMex. The new UI updated next to its functionality covers not only a better file management with the Windows Client, but also adds a detailed password enter/editing functionality for better management of 1024 size passwords for all Dark-Fog clients. The new “DFMex” feature for text-messages, is an encryption based on the password and message size. Depending on the given password (up to 1024 signs), the message will be split up and filled with random generated letter-signs, making it impossible to read out the text even without a bit-encryption. After the message-expansion, a 2nd layer encryption with DFV3 based on the file size, will be applied. It does not include any hash or checksum for the password used for the encrypted file. Makes it impossible to brute-force or to decipher the used encrypt-password. A detailed explaination of the new feature can be found here at the Security Levels or in the Manual.PDF.
