=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The symmetric cipher commands allow data to be encrypted 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<-pass arg>
|
|
|
|
the password source. For more information about the format of B<arg>
|
|
see the B<PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS> section in L<openssl(1)|openssl(1)>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-salt>
|
|
|
|
use a salt in the key derivation routines. This option should B<ALWAYS>
|
|
be used unless compatibility with previous versions of OpenSSL or SSLeay
|
|
is required. This option is only present on OpenSSL versions 0.9.5 or
|
|
above.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-nosalt>
|
|
|
|
don't use a salt in the key derivation routines. This is the default for
|
|
compatibility with previous versions of OpenSSL and SSLeay.
|
|
|
|
=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. This is for compatibility with previous
|
|
versions of OpenSSL. Superseded by the B<-pass> argument.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-kfile filename>
|
|
|
|
read the password to derive the key from the first line of B<filename>.
|
|
This is for computability with previous versions of OpenSSL. Superseded by
|
|
the B<-pass> argument.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-S salt>
|
|
|
|
the actual salt to use: this must be represented as a string comprised only
|
|
of hex digits.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-K key>
|
|
|
|
the actual key to use: this must be represented as a string comprised only
|
|
of hex digits. If only the key is specified, the IV must additionally specified
|
|
using the B<-iv> option. When both a key and a password are specified, the
|
|
key given with the B<-K> option will be used and the IV generated from the
|
|
password will be taken. It probably does not make much sense to specify
|
|
both key and password.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-iv IV>
|
|
|
|
the actual IV to use: this must be represented as a string comprised only
|
|
of hex digits. When only the key is specified using the B<-K> option, the
|
|
IV must explicitly be defined. When a password is being specified using
|
|
one of the other options, the IV is generated from this password.
|
|
|
|
=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<-nopad>
|
|
|
|
disable standard block padding
|
|
|
|
=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.
|
|
|
|
The B<-salt> option should B<ALWAYS> be used if the key is being derived
|
|
from a password unless you want compatibility with previous versions of
|
|
OpenSSL and SSLeay.
|
|
|
|
Without the B<-salt> option it is possible to perform efficient dictionary
|
|
attacks on the password and to attack stream cipher encrypted data. The reason
|
|
for this is that without the salt the same password always generates the same
|
|
encryption key. When the salt is being used the first eight bytes of the
|
|
encrypted data are reserved for the salt: it is generated at random when
|
|
encrypting a file and read from the encrypted file when it is decrypted.
|
|
|
|
Some of the ciphers do not have large keys and others have security
|
|
implications if not used correctly. A beginner is advised to just use
|
|
a strong block cipher in CBC mode such as bf or des3.
|
|
|
|
All the block ciphers normally 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.
|
|
|
|
If padding is disabled then the input data must be a multiple of the cipher
|
|
block length.
|
|
|
|
All RC2 ciphers have the same key and effective key length.
|
|
|
|
Blowfish and RC5 algorithms use a 128 bit key.

=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Just base64 encode a binary file:
|
|
|
|
openssl base64 -in file.bin -out file.b64
|
|
|
|
Decode the same file
|
|
|
|
openssl base64 -d -in file.b64 -out file.bin
|
|
|
|
Encrypt a file using triple DES in CBC mode using a prompted password:
|
|
|
|
openssl des3 -salt -in file.txt -out file.des3
|
|
|
|
Decrypt a file using a supplied password:
|
|
|
|
openssl des3 -d -salt -in file.des3 -out file.txt -k mypassword
|
|
|
|
Encrypt a file then base64 encode it (so it can be sent via mail for example)
|
|
using Blowfish in CBC mode:
|
|
|
|
openssl bf -a -salt -in file.txt -out file.bf
|
|
|
|
Base64 decode a file then decrypt it:
|
|
|
|
openssl bf -d -salt -a -in file.bf -out file.txt
|
|
|
|
Decrypt some data using a supplied 40 bit RC4 key:
|
|
|
|
openssl rc4-40 -in file.rc4 -out file.txt -K 0102030405
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
The B<-A> option when used with large files doesn't work properly.
|
|
|
|
There should be an option to allow an iteration count to be included.
|
|
|
|
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.
