Decrypting Unix file
Accidentally, I encrypted a file while saving it in vi editor.
While saving I used :X and when asked for encryption key, I simply pressed ENTER key without any input.
Now, I want to decrypt the file.
I searched the forum, but unfortunately didn't get the proper solution. In one of the threads it asked to visit a particular link which I couldn't access.
Can anybody please help me .
Regards,
Ravi.

Dear Friends,
I want to decrypt 2 different file types in a folder (ZIP files and GPG files).
Each file type need different decryption syntex.
Hence, the script should identify file type and should act accordingly ignoring file name case i.e. upper or lower case.

evp_sealinit
EVP_SealInit(3) OpenSSL EVP_SealInit(3)
NAME
EVP_SealInit, EVP_SealUpdate, EVP_SealFinal - EVP envelope encryption
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_SealInit(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, const EVP_CIPHER *type,
unsigned char **ek, int *ekl, unsigned char *iv,
EVP_PKEY **pubk, int npubk);
int EVP_SealUpdate(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out,
int *outl, unsigned char *in, int inl);
int EVP_SealFinal(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out,
int *outl);
DESCRIPTION
The EVP envelope routines are a high level interface to envelope encryption. They generate a random key and IV (if required) then
"envelope" it by using public key encryption. Data can then be encrypted using this key.
EVP_SealInit() initializes a cipher context ctx for encryption with cipher type using a random secret key and IV. type is normally supplied
by a function such as EVP_des_cbc(). The secret key is encrypted using one or more public keys, this allows the same encrypted data to be
decrypted using any of the corresponding private keys. ek is an array of buffers where the public key encrypted secret key will be written,
each buffer must contain enough room for the corresponding encrypted key: that is ek[i] must have room for EVP_PKEY_size(pubk[i]) bytes.
The actual size of each encrypted secret key is written to the array ekl. pubk is an array of npubk public keys.
The iv parameter is a buffer where the generated IV is written to. It must contain enough room for the corresponding cipher's IV, as
determined by (for example) EVP_CIPHER_iv_length(type).
If the cipher does not require an IV then the iv parameter is ignored and can be NULL.
EVP_SealUpdate() and EVP_SealFinal() have exactly the same properties as the EVP_EncryptUpdate() and EVP_EncryptFinal() routines, as
documented on the EVP_EncryptInit(3) manual page.
RETURN VALUES
EVP_SealInit() returns 0 on error or npubk if successful.
EVP_SealUpdate() and EVP_SealFinal() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
NOTES
Because a random secret key is generated the random number generator must be seeded before calling EVP_SealInit().
The public key must be RSA because it is the only OpenSSL public key algorithm that supports key transport.
Envelope encryption is the usual method of using public key encryption on large amounts of data, this is because public key encryption is
slow but symmetric encryption is fast. So symmetric encryption is used for bulk encryption and the small random symmetric key used is
transferred using public key encryption.
It is possible to call EVP_SealInit() twice in the same way as EVP_EncryptInit(). The first call should have npubk set to 0 and (after
setting any cipher parameters) it should be called again with type set to NULL.

HISTORY
EVP_SealFinal() did not return a value before OpenSSL 0.9.7.
