Using encrypt to AES256 Level on Solaris10
Hello,

Hopefully not doing something too unconventional here, and someone might be able to assist me. I simply want to know what the parameters are that I use with the encrypt command in Solaris10. The system has the SUNWcry module added, so should be able to encrypt up to AES 256 strength. I'm presuming that I need to use a command something like:-

encrypt -a algorithmname -i inputfile - o outputfile

What I don't know is the algorithm name - when I list them, I get:-

bash-3.00$ encrypt -l
Algorithm Keysize: Min Max (bits)
------------------------------------------
aes 128 128
arcfour 8 128
des 64 64
3des 192 192

I'm not sure if that means that the SUNWcry module isn't giving me the additional key length that I require - it is running:-

(root_servername)@/ # pkginfo | grep -i SUNWcry
system SUNWcry Crypt Utilities

Does anyone have any ideas? If you need any more information, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Burch

vconsole.conf

VCONSOLE.CONF(5)						   vconsole.conf						  VCONSOLE.CONF(5)

NAME

       vconsole.conf - configuration file for the virtual console

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/vconsole.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/vconsole.conf file configures the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font.

       The basic file format of the vconsole.conf is a newline-separated list environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
       possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
       allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine.

       Note that the kernel command line options vconsole.keymap=, vconsole.keymap.toggle=, vconsole.font=, vconsole.font.map=,
       vconsole.font.unimap= may be used to override the console settings at boot.

       Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well, however only
       as fallback.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       KEYMAP=, KEYMAP_TOGGLE=
	   Configures the key mapping table of for they keyboard.  KEYMAP= defaults to us if not set. The KEYMAP_TOGGLE= can be used to configured
	   a second toggle keymap and is by default unset.

       FONT=, FONT_MAP=, FONT_UNIMAP=
	   Configures the console font, the console map and the unicode font map.  FONT= defaults to latarcyrheb-sun16.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1. German keyboard and console

       /etc/vconsole.conf:

	   KEYMAP=de-latin1
	   FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
