Re: File Encryption
Hi Gus. Using symmetrical encryption I do just that
on Linux, without the GUI?
With a small bash script, you could filter out just the entry you want too.
I currently do it with Python and their encryption, but want it for
my windows box and Linux, hence gpg.
e.g. unlock is
source lockp.sh # parameters
#usage=Usage $0 # creates $plnfile.txt
if [[ ! -f ${target}/${encfile} ]]
then
echo Unable to find $1
exit 2
fi
# File $1 exists, has .gpg extension, create .txt
echo Decrypt CAST5 encrypted file $1
echo gpg --output ${target}/${plnfile} --decrypt ${target}/${encfile}
gpg --output ${target}/${plnfile} --decrypt ${target}/${encfile}
ckexit gpg
echo Created ${target}/${plnfile}
more ${target}/${plnfile}
with params shared (encrypt / decrypt) as
# params for lock.sh and unlock.sh
source ~/bin/dpFunctions.sh
target=/apps/Dropbox/fp
plnfile=test.txt
encfile=test.gpg
nb dpfunctions are pure bash.
Let me know if you want more.

without destroying the underlying encrypted file. Accordingly, when I close
the cleartext version it ceases to exist, leaving only the pre-existing

With what program and/or how can I do this?

For OS X it gets a little trickier, since the version that includes auto-type is community sourced, but the person who produces it is well trusted, and a lot of people use it. Schneier had an interesting blog post recently about password safes, with a link to papers that did extensive research on them. KeePass came out looking pretty good, as one of the key problems with most password safes is that if the auto-type is truly automatic, it can be triggered by malicious software and grab your passwords off the clipboard in windows. While KeePass does have an auto-type feature, you have to trigger the key sequence to use it, and that sequence is user-configurable. And obviously you don't want to use solutions like LastPass, where your stuff is stored in their cloud. The question of What if they get hacked? is no longer academic, since it happened recently.

KeePass already encrypts the db file, and SpiderOak, unlike most cloud storage platforms, encrypts the files it backs up locally (on your system) with a special key that the company does not know. The upload channel is encrypted to their servers as well, so your data is never available in the clear. Because they don't know the encryption key your data is never de-duplicated with other people's stuff, although if you set up folder synchronization between systems the same files will be de-duplicated within your own account. ... and speaking of folder synchronization, one of the things I like about SpiderOak is that you can set up arbitrary folders to synchronize between systems, you don't have to put all of your stuff in one folder. You can also configure it to exclude certain files from syncing, which is handy to avoid synching the .lock file for KeePass. :) http://keepass.info/index.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/09/security_of_pas.html If you use this link to sign up for SpiderOak, I get free space. :) https://spideroak.com/signup/referral/25c4971714a13f13c24fa98a43317dc2/ Or, here is the regular link, if you prefer: https://spideroak.com/ hope this helps, Doug -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJUb/bPAAoJEFzGhvEaGryEq9EH/0pwRxi7PpJMlJs9yGOvdcBO +oqL6uJ99U72kdmUeznLzSewN5pHJoKB26gHAqs2WvNnoNGDOfRKz89ijKxCOWbE 8uJfz+AEqDJLe6CdLXSVTTa8SdLDydYUqrQZuV3aPxVPCCA91I4vi0HVB3MAlqLV ndOEaX6wP6/GCqVDkHUDQ9V37jmFHa7jl2RKFXj5BRL31ztQuqVQ4VlCiVbZFvje aipBL8p1l9EBdEUdQIM7tnykeP9EY+0F5zQmSqAuxxk+CFKQZBJ2FqZN1bnvi5OC QQFaUy4sGQKdI/uoOQOVM5YHXzQxJ6tZY1zFUudQwcs/Sdi2EQkRZQVOpMHeeqQ= =dI3t -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ.
