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)

pgpgpg
PGP(1) General Commands Manual PGP(1)NAME
pgpgpg - wrapper around Gnu Privacy Guard that takes Pretty Good Privacy command line options
SYNOPSIS
pgpgpg [options] pgpfile
pgpgpg -e [options] file user ...
DESCRIPTION
PGPGPG is a wrapper that allows calls to GnuPG (Gnu Privacy Guard) using the command line options of (Pretty Good Privacy). PGP and GnuPG
are encryption programms with high security encryption engines. However, PGP is available without a fee but is not realy free software.
GnuPG on the other hand is realy free software and has additionally features but with a different command line syntax than PGP.
The goal of pgpgpg is to plug in a command line syntax in front of GnuPG equal to PGP 2.6.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pgpgpg notice that long options do not use the usual GNU syntax (--) but, instead are of the form
+option[=value].
-e Encrypt a plaintext file.
-d, -p Decrypt a plaintext file.
-s Sign a plaintext file.
pgpgpg -s file [-u userid]
-sb Create a separate signature certificate (a .sig file) for a given file.
pgpgpg -sb file [-u userid]
-c Use convential cryptography when encrypting.
-o Output to the file specified. Should only be used for encryption, decryption and signature operations (not for key management).
-a, +armor
ASCII armor the output file.
-u, +myname
Select the userid to use for some operations.
-kg Generate a unique public/secret pair.
-ka Add a public or secret key to your key ring.
pgpgpg -ka keyfile [keyring]
-kx Extract a copy from your public or secret keyring.
pgpgpg -kx[a] userid keyfile [keyring]
-kv View the contents of your keyring.
pgpgpg -kv[v] [userid] [keyring]
-kvc View a key fingerprint.
pgpgpg -kvc [userid] [keyring]
-kr Remove a key from your keyring.
pgpgpg -kr userid [keyring]
-kd If acting on your secret key, permanently revoke a key and issue a compromise certificate. If acting on a public key, disable or
reenable a key.
pgpgpg -kd userid
-ke Edit trust parameters for a public key or edit the pass phrase or add a userid to a secret key.
pgpgpg -ke userid [keyring]
-kc View the contents and check the certifying signatures of your public key ring.
pgpgpg -kc [userid] [keyring]
-ks Sign and certify someone's public key.
pgpgpg -ks userid [-u userid] [keyring]
The following options are ignored or unsupported: ++armorlines, +autosign, +bakring, +interactive, +keepbinary, +language, +legal_kludge,
+nomanual, +pager, +randseed, +tmp and +tzfix.
BUGS
PGPGPG does not currently provide an online help (-h or -?) and will not show a summary of commands, as PGP does, when typing:
pgp -k
The following options are not documented (yet): +batchmode, +cert_depth, +charset, +encrypttoself, +force, +clearsig, +comment, +com-
pletes_needed, +compress, +marginals_needed, +pubring, +secring, +textmode and +verbose.
