how to compare 2 encrypted files?
I have 2 files :-
1) f1.txt and f2.txt.Both contain some text as -
2)Now I did :
Quote:
[...]#cmp f1.txt f2.txt
(OR)
[...]#diff f1.txt f2.txt
output: I got them to be
equal.
3) I encrypted them using gpg and with the
SAME paraphrase :-
Quote:
gpg -c --cipher-algo aes256 f1.txt
gpg -c --cipher-algo aes256 f2.txt
4)Now I did :
[...]#cmp f1.txt.gpg f2.txt.gpg
(OR)
[...]#diff f1.txt.gpg f2.txt.gpg
[/QUOTE]
output: I got them to be
NOT equal.
Can you please tell me why?
My actual intension is to know
how to compare any 2 encrypted files to know whether they contain the same text or not without DECRYPTING them!!!!

Hi,
Is there a way of executing encrypted files? I have encrpyted files using vi and crypt, but when I execute the encrypted file, it takes the contents literally (special characters, junk - encrpyted format).
Kind Regards,
