The secure plain text format | Hacker News

X-File is a way to share text that can be read and also contain portions of that text which are kept as secret. In addition, the footer contains a cryptographic signature to verify that the content has not been tampered.

The main difference compared to a normal SHA1 signature is that the encryption used for the footer can randomly use one of the many encryption algorithms to store the secret data and thus make very difficult for brute forcing the key that unlocks the data.

Just let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
