Symmetic encryption

For symmetic encryption, you can use the following:

To encrypt:

To decrypt:

Generating AES keys and password Use the OpenSSL command-line tool, which is included with the Master Data Engine, to generate AES 128-, 192-, or 256-bit keys. The madpwd3 utility is used to create the password. For, you can see a list of supported options by running $ openssl enc list. We are using aes-256-cbc here (many of the ciphers have a shortcut where running $ openssl aes-256-cbc is identical to $ openssl enc -aes-256-cbc).e instructs the tool to encrypt the data, and -k specifies the password.

Asymmetric encryption

For Asymmetric encryption you must first generate your private key and extract the public key.

Encripting files

You can't directly encrypt a large file using rsautl. Instead, do the following:

  • Generate a key using openssl rand, e.g. openssl rand 32 -out keyfile.
  • Encrypt the key file using openssl rsautl.
  • Encrypt the data using openssl enc, using the generated key from step 1.
  • Package the encrypted key file with the encrypted data. The recipient will need to decrypt the key with their private key, then decrypt the data with the resulting key.

Ultimate solution for safe and high secured encode anyone file in OpenSSL and command-line:

Private key generation (encrypted private key): Enter the 16-character security key generated online garena.

Encrypt a file

Encrypt binary file:

Encrypt text file:

What is what:

256
  • smime — ssl command for S/MIME utility (smime(1)).
  • -encrypt — chosen method for file process.
  • -binary — use safe file process. Normally the input message is converted to 'canonical' format as required by the S/MIME specification, this switch disable it. It is necessary for all binary files (like a images, sounds, ZIP archives).
  • -aes-256-cbc — chosen cipher AES in 256 bit for encryption (strong). If not specified 40 bit RC2 is used (very weak). (Supported ciphers).
  • -in plainfile.zip — input file name.
  • -out encrypted.zip.enc — output file name.
  • -outform DER — encode output file as binary. If is not specified, file is encoded by base64 and file size will be increased by 30%.
  • yourSslCertificate.pem — file name of your certificate's. That should be in PEM format.

That command can very effectively a strongly encrypt any file regardless of its size or format.

Decrypt a file

Decrypt binary file:

For text files:

What is what:

  • -inform DER — same as -outform above.
  • -inkey private.key — file name of your private key. That should be in PEM format and can be encrypted by password.
  • -passin pass:your_password — (optional) your password for private key encrypt.

This post briefly describes how to utilise AES to encrypt and decrypt files with OpenSSL.

AES - Advanced Encryption Standard (also known as Rijndael).

OpenSSL - Cryptography and SSL/TLS Toolkit

We’ll walk through the following steps:

  • Generate an AES key plus Initialization vector (iv) with openssl and
  • how to encode/decode a file with the generated key/iv pair

Note: AES is a symmetric-key algorithm which means it uses the same key during encryption/decryption.

Generating key/iv pair

We want to generate a 256-bit key and use Cipher Block Chaining (CBC).

The basic command to use is openssl enc plus some options:

  • -P — Print out the salt, key and IV used, then exit
  • -k <secret> or -pass pass:<secret> — to specify the password to use
  • -aes-256-cbc — the cipher name

Note: We decided to use no salt to keep the example simple.

Issue openssl enc --help for more details and options (e.g. other ciphernames, how to specify a salt, …).

Encoding

Let's start with encoding Hello, AES! contained in the text file message.txt:

Decoding

Decoding is almost the same command line - just an additional -d for decrypting:

Note: Beware of the line breaks

While working with AES encryption I encountered the situation where the encoder sometimes produces base 64 encoded data with or without line breaks..

Short answer: Yes, use the OpenSSL -A option.
