Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will give a nicer C++.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform. If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the output yourself in some meaningful fashion. Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'...

"DESCRIPTION"
Header "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.
"OPTIONS"
Header "OPTIONS" "-in filename" 4
Item "-in filename" the input filename, standard input by default.
"-out filename" 4
Item "-out filename" the output filename, standard output by default.
"-pass arg" 4
Item "-pass arg" the password source. For more information about the format of
arg
see the
\s-1PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS\s0 section in
openssl\|(1).
"-salt" 4
Item "-salt" use a salt in the key derivation routines. This is the default.
"-nosalt" 4
Item "-nosalt" don't use a salt in the key derivation routines. This option
\s-1SHOULD NOT\s0 be
used except for test purposes or compatibility with ancient versions of OpenSSL
and SSLeay.
"-e" 4
Item "-e" encrypt the input data: this is the default.
"-d" 4
Item "-d" decrypt the input data.
"-a" 4
Item "-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.
"-A" 4
Item "-A" if the
-a option is set then base64 process the data on one line.
"-k password" 4
Item "-k password" the password to derive the key from. This is for compatibility with previous
versions of OpenSSL. Superseded by the
-pass argument.
"-kfile filename" 4
Item "-kfile filename" read the password to derive the key from the first line of
filename.
This is for compatibility with previous versions of OpenSSL. Superseded by
the
-pass argument.
"-S salt" 4
Item "-S salt" the actual salt to use: this must be represented as a string comprised only
of hex digits.
"-K key" 4
Item "-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 \s-1IV\s0 must additionally specified
using the
-iv option. When both a key and a password are specified, the
key given with the
-K option will be used and the \s-1IV\s0 generated from the
password will be taken. It probably does not make much sense to specify
both key and password.
"-iv \s-1IV\s0" 4
Item "-iv IV" the actual \s-1IV\s0 to use: this must be represented as a string comprised only
of hex digits. When only the key is specified using the
-K option, the
\s-1IV\s0 must explicitly be defined. When a password is being specified using
one of the other options, the \s-1IV\s0 is generated from this password.
"-p" 4
Item "-p" print out the key and \s-1IV\s0 used.
"-P" 4
Item "-P" print out the key and \s-1IV\s0 used then immediately exit: don't do any encryption
or decryption.
"-bufsize number" 4
Item "-bufsize number" set the buffer size for I/O
"-nopad" 4
Item "-nopad" disable standard block padding
"-debug" 4
Item "-debug" debug the BIOs used for I/O.
"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" The program can be called either as
openssl ciphername or
\fBopenssl enc -ciphername.
A password will be prompted for to derive the key and \s-1IV\s0 if necessary.
The -salt option should \s-1ALWAYS\s0 be used if the key is being derived
from a password unless you want compatibility with previous versions of
OpenSSL and SSLeay.
Without the -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 \s-1CBC\s0 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 \s-1RC2\s0 ciphers have the same key and effective key length.
Blowfish and \s-1RC5\s0 algorithms use a 128 bit key.

"BUGS"
Header "BUGS" The
-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 enc program only supports a fixed number of algorithms with
certain parameters. So if, for example, you want to use \s-1RC2\s0 with a
76 bit key or \s-1RC4\s0 with an 84 bit key you can't use this program.
