openssl

File encryption in Unix | UNIX AND NOT ONLY

Due to the transfer of all his goodness to another server, he was puzzled by backing up data to a remote server. But somehow I don’t really trust to keep my backs in clear text, so I decided to encrypt the data before sending it to a remote server.
And so to encrypt the file I decided to use openssl

Encrypt the file with the command
lifestar# openssl enc -e -aes-256-cbc -k password -in filename -out filename You can decrypt this file like this

lifestar# openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -k password -in filename -out new filename
