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 Superseded by the B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 compatibility 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 Superseded by -the B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. - -=back - -=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 SUPPORTED CIPHERS - - base64 Base 64 - - bf-cbc Blowfish in CBC mode - bf Alias for bf-cbc - bf-cfb Blowfish in CFB mode - bf-ecb Blowfish in ECB mode - bf-ofb Blowfish in OFB mode - - cast-cbc CAST in CBC mode - cast Alias for cast-cbc - cast5-cbc CAST5 in CBC mode - cast5-cfb CAST5 in CFB mode - cast5-ecb CAST5 in ECB mode - cast5-ofb CAST5 in OFB mode - - des-cbc DES in CBC mode - des Alias for des-cbc - des-cfb DES in CBC mode - des-ofb DES in OFB mode - des-ecb DES in ECB mode - - des-ede-cbc Two key triple DES EDE in CBC mode - des-ede Two key triple DES EDE in ECB mode - des-ede-cfb Two key triple DES EDE in CFB mode - des-ede-ofb Two key triple DES EDE in OFB mode - - des-ede3-cbc Three key triple DES EDE in CBC mode - des-ede3 Three key triple DES EDE in ECB mode - des3 Alias for des-ede3-cbc - des-ede3-cfb Three key triple DES EDE CFB mode - des-ede3-ofb Three key triple DES EDE in OFB mode - - desx DESX algorithm. - - idea-cbc IDEA algorithm in CBC mode - idea same as idea-cbc - idea-cfb IDEA in CFB mode - idea-ecb IDEA in ECB mode - idea-ofb IDEA in OFB mode - - rc2-cbc 128 bit RC2 in CBC mode - rc2 Alias for rc2-cbc - rc2-cfb 128 bit RC2 in CFB mode - rc2-ecb 128 bit RC2 in ECB mode - rc2-ofb 128 bit RC2 in OFB mode - rc2-64-cbc 64 bit RC2 in CBC mode - rc2-40-cbc 40 bit RC2 in CBC mode - - rc4 128 bit RC4 - rc4-64 64 bit RC4 - rc4-40 40 bit RC4 - - rc5-cbc RC5 cipher in CBC mode - rc5 Alias for rc5-cbc - rc5-cfb RC5 cipher in CFB mode - rc5-ecb RC5 cipher in ECB mode - rc5-ofb RC5 cipher in OFB mode - -=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. - -=cut |
