Hello guys !
I have used "crypt <first> second" command to encrypt "first" to "second" file. i have assign a key for that of course.
Now when i try to look content of "seocnd" file through "cat second" command, the file is encrypted and cannot be read which is according to plan.
But when... (3 Replies)

Dear Members,
Can we find if a particular file is encrypted or decrypted.
I need a command by which i should be able to identify if a file is encrypted or decrypted.
How can we do this? (1 Reply)
we are to develope a project on linux whose aim is to automatically encrypt files after logoff and to decrypt them using password after log in
this is to be made by chging source code of linux ...........

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)

setkey
setkey(3C) Standard C Library Functions setkey(3C)NAME
setkey - set encoding key
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
void setkey(const char *key);
DESCRIPTION
The setkey() function provides (rather primitive) access to the hashing algorithm employed by the crypt(3C) function. The argument of
setkey() is an array of length 64 bytes containing only the bytes with numerical value of 0 and 1. If this string is divided into groups of
8, the low-order bit in each group is ignored; this gives a 56-bit key which is used by the algorithm. This is the key that will be used
with the algorithm to encode a string block passed to encrypt(3C).
RETURN VALUES
No values are returned.
ERRORS
The setkey() function will fail if:
ENOSYS The functionality is not supported on this implementation.
USAGE
In some environments, decoding may not be implemented. This is related to U.S. Government restrictions on encryption and decryption rou-
tines: the DES decryption algorithm cannot be exported outside the U.S.A. Historical practice has been to ship a different version of the
encryption library without the decryption feature in the routines supplied. Thus the exported version of encrypt() does encoding but not
decoding.
Because setkey() does not return a value, applications wishing to check for errors should set errno to 0, call setkey(), then test errno
and, if it is non-zero, assume an error has occurred.
