Encryption of files on AIX 5.3 GPFS filesystem
Hi
Are there any tools out there that can encrypt files on a GPFS file system which are being accessed by multiple AIX 5.3 nodes?
Situation, I need various application servers to read/write files that are on a GPFS share. Therefore the encryption mechanisum need to be transparent to the application.
Any ideas?

Hi all,
I'm looking for secure file encryption tools that use MAC address as encryption key. FYI, I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS.
For example: when A wants to send file to B
A will encrypt the file with B's computer MAC/IP address as an encryption key
This file can only be decrypted... (2 Replies)

crypt::des_ede3
Crypt::DES_EDE3(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Crypt::DES_EDE3(3pm)
NAME
Crypt::DES_EDE3 - Triple-DES EDE encryption/decryption
SYNOPSIS
use Crypt::DES_EDE3;
my $ede3 = Crypt::DES_EDE3->new($key);
$ede3->encrypt($block);
DESCRIPTION
Crypt::DES_EDE3 implements DES-EDE3 encryption. This is triple-DES encryption where an encrypt operation is encrypt-decrypt-encrypt, and
decrypt is decrypt-encrypt-decrypt. This implementation uses Crypt::DES to do its dirty DES work, and simply provides a wrapper around that
module: setting up the individual DES ciphers, initializing the keys, and performing the encryption/decryption steps.
DES-EDE3 encryption requires a key size of 24 bytes.
You're probably best off not using this module directly, as the encrypt and decrypt methods expect 8-octet blocks. You might want to use
the module in conjunction with Crypt::CBC, for example. This would be DES-EDE3-CBC, or triple-DES in outer CBC mode.
USAGE
$ede3 = Crypt::DES_EDE3->new($key)
Creates a new Crypt::DES_EDE3 object (really, a collection of three DES ciphers), and initializes each cipher with part of $key, which
should be at least 24 bytes. If it's longer than 24 bytes, the extra bytes will be ignored.
Returns the new object.
$ede3->encrypt($block)
Encrypts an 8-byte block of data $block using the three DES ciphers in an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt operation.
Returns the encrypted block.
$ede3->decrypt($block)
Decrypts an 8-byte block of data $block using the three DES ciphers in a decrypt-encrypt-decrypt operation.
Returns the decrypted block.
$ede3->blocksize
Returns the block size(8).
$ede3->keysize
Returns the key size(24).
