.IX 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.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-in filename"
the input filename, standard input by default.
.IP "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-out filename"
the output filename, standard output by default.
.IP "\fB\-pass arg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-pass arg"
the password source. For more information about the format of \fBarg\fR
see the \fB\s-1PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS\s0\fR section in \fBopenssl\fR\|(1).
.IP "\fB\-salt\fR" 4
.IX Item "-salt"
use a salt in the key derivation routines. This is the default.
.IP "\fB\-nosalt\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nosalt"
don't use a salt in the key derivation routines. This option \fB\s-1SHOULD NOT\s0\fR be
used except for test purposes or compatibility with ancient versions of OpenSSL
and SSLeay.
.IP "\fB\-e\fR" 4
.IX Item "-e"
encrypt the input data: this is the default.
.IP "\fB\-d\fR" 4
.IX Item "-d"
decrypt the input data.
.IP "\fB\-a\fR" 4
.IX 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.
.IP "\fB\-base64\fR" 4
.IX Item "-base64"
same as \fB\-a\fR
.IP "\fB\-A\fR" 4
.IX Item "-A"
if the \fB\-a\fR option is set then base64 process the data on one line.
.IP "\fB\-k password\fR" 4
.IX Item "-k password"
the password to derive the key from. This is for compatibility with previous
versions of OpenSSL. Superseded by the \fB\-pass\fR argument.
.IP "\fB\-kfile filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-kfile filename"
read the password to derive the key from the first line of \fBfilename\fR.
This is for compatibility with previous versions of OpenSSL. Superseded by
the \fB\-pass\fR argument.
.IP "\fB\-nosalt\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nosalt"
do not use a salt
.IP "\fB\-salt\fR" 4
.IX Item "-salt"
use salt (randomly generated or provide with \fB\-S\fR option) when
encrypting (this is the default).
.IP "\fB\-S salt\fR" 4
.IX Item "-S salt"
the actual salt to use: this must be represented as a string of hex digits.
.IP "\fB\-K key\fR" 4
.IX 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 \fB\-iv\fR option. When both a key and a password are specified, the
key given with the \fB\-K\fR 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.
.IP "\fB\-iv \s-1IV\s0\fR" 4
.IX 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 \fB\-K\fR 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.
.IP "\fB\-p\fR" 4
.IX Item "-p"
print out the key and \s-1IV\s0 used.
.IP "\fB\-P\fR" 4
.IX Item "-P"
print out the key and \s-1IV\s0 used then immediately exit: don't do any encryption
or decryption.
.IP "\fB\-bufsize number\fR" 4
.IX Item "-bufsize number"
set the buffer size for I/O
.IP "\fB\-nopad\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nopad"
disable standard block padding
.IP "\fB\-debug\fR" 4
.IX Item "-debug"
debug the BIOs used for I/O.
.IP "\fB\-z\fR" 4
.IX Item "-z"
Compress or decompress clear text using zlib before encryption or after
decryption. This option exists only if OpenSSL with compiled with zlib
or zlib-dynamic option.
.IP "\fB\-none\fR" 4
.IX Item "-none"
Use \s-1NULL\s0 cipher (no encryption or decryption of input).
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The program can be called either as \fBopenssl ciphername\fR or
\&\fBopenssl enc \-ciphername\fR. But the first form doesn't work with
engine-provided ciphers, because this form is processed before the
configuration file is read and any ENGINEs loaded.
.PP
Engines which provide entirely new encryption algorithms (such as ccgost
engine which provides gost89 algorithm) should be configured in the
configuration file. Engines, specified in the command line using \-engine
options can only be used for hadrware-assisted implementations of
ciphers, which are supported by OpenSSL core or other engine, specified
in the configuration file.
.PP
When enc command lists supported ciphers, ciphers provided by engines,
specified in the configuration files are listed too.
.PP
A password will be prompted for to derive the key and \s-1IV\s0 if necessary.
.PP
The \fB\-salt\fR option should \fB\s-1ALWAYS\s0\fR be used if the key is being derived
from a password unless you want compatibility with previous versions of
OpenSSL and SSLeay.
.PP
Without the \fB\-salt\fR 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.
.PP
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.
.PP
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.
.PP
If padding is disabled then the input data must be a multiple of the cipher
block length.
.PP
All \s-1RC2\s0 ciphers have the same key and effective key length.
.PP
Blowfish and \s-1RC5\s0 algorithms use a 128 bit key.
.SH "SUPPORTED CIPHERS"
.IX Header "SUPPORTED CIPHERS"
Note that some of these ciphers can be disabled at compile time
and some are available only if an appropriate engine is configured
in the configuration file. The output of the \fBenc\fR command run with
unsupported options (for example \fBopenssl enc \-help\fR) includes a
list of ciphers, supported by your versesion of OpenSSL, including
ones provided by configured engines.
.PP
The \fBenc\fR program does not support authenticated encryption modes
like \s-1CCM\s0 and \s-1GCM.\s0 The utility does not store or retrieve the
authentication tag.

The \fB\-A\fR option when used with large files doesn't work properly.
.PP
There should be an option to allow an iteration count to be included.
.PP
The \fBenc\fR 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.
