=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The symmetric cipher commands allow data to be encrytped or decrypted
|
|
using various block and stream ciphers using keys based on passwords
|
|
or explicitly provided. Base64 encoding or decoding can also be performed
|
|
either by itself or in addition to the encryption or decryption.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-in filename>
|
|
|
|
the input filename, standard input by default.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-out filename>
|
|
|
|
the output filename, standard output by default.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-e>
|
|
|
|
encrypt the input data: this is the default.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-d>
|
|
|
|
decrypt the input data.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-a>
|
|
|
|
base64 process the data. This means that if encryption is taking place
|
|
the data is base64 encoded after encryption. If decryption is set then
|
|
the input data is base64 decoded before being decrypted.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-A>
|
|
|
|
if the B<-a> option is set then base64 process the data on one line.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-k password>
|
|
|
|
the password to derive the key from.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-kfile filename>
|
|
|
|
read the password to derive the key from the first line of B<filename>
|
|
|
|
=item B<-K key>
|
|
|
|
the actual key to use: this must be represented as a string comprised only
|
|
of hex digits.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-iv IV>
|
|
|
|
the actual IV to use: this must be represented as a string comprised only
|
|
of hex digits.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-p>
|
|
|
|
print out the key and IV used.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-P>
|
|
|
|
print out the key and IV used then immediately exit: don't do any encryption
|
|
or decryption.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-bufsize number>
|
|
|
|
set the buffer size for I/O
|
|
|
|
=item B<-debug>
|
|
|
|
debug the BIOs used for I/O.

|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The program can be called either as B<openssl ciphername> or
|
|
B<openssl enc -ciphername>.
|
|
|
|
A password will be prompted for to derive the key and IV if necessary.
|
|
|
|
All the block ciphers use PKCS#5 padding also known as standard block
|
|
padding: this allows a rudimentary integrity or password check to be
|
|
performed. However since the chance of random data passing the test is
|
|
better than 1 in 256 it isn't a very good test.
|
|
|
|
All RC2 ciphers have the same key and effective key length.
|
|
|
|
Blowfish and RC5 algorithms use a 128 bit key.

=head1 EXAMPLES

|
|
|
To be added....
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
The B<-A> option when used with large files doesn't work properly.
|
|
|
|
The key derivation algorithm used is compatible with the SSLeay algorithm. It
|
|
is not very good: it uses unsalted MD5. There should be an option to allow a
|
|
salt or iteration count to be included.
|
|
|
|
Like the EVP library the B<enc> program only supports a fixed number of
|
|
algorithms with certain parameters. So if, for example, you want to use RC2
|
|
with a 76 bit key or RC4 with an 84 bit key you can't use this program.
