More security for Crypto Helper

New option visible.
I have begun work on a new upgrade for my encryption application for Android which I call Crypto Helper. This upgrade will give an optional AES256 layer on top of the my version of a one time pad cypher for added security and some extra forgiveness if a key is used more than once. One time pad is unbreakable if random keys are used and they are destroyed after use, and keys must be as long as the message being encrypted. AES256 will cover those tiny issues in one time pad. I have also upgraded the secure key feature so old cyphers made with the old secure key generator will not work, however the new secure key system is way more robust for proper usage of one time pad and makes intrusion into your personal data much harder. Cyphertext generated without the secure key feature will be unaffected by this upgrade.

I can't easily show the differences in the key security algorithm, all you'd see is different text. But the new check box for AES256 is visible.

The update should be out by the end of the week if nothing goes wrong, though programmers must always expect failure because programs tend to misbehave when one needs them to function.
