Read user input, Encrypt the data and write to file

Hi,

can some one help me how to encrypt and decrypt a file.

AIM: reade user input, encrypt it and save it to file.

while decryption read the encrypted file decrypt it and save the output in some variable.

Example: consider we have Credentials.txt file with content username: password

when user run a script, it should ask them to enter username and password in format of "username: password".

when user enters them, it should get encrypted and save to credentials.txt file.


while decryption, read the credentials.txt file decrypt it, then split the content before and after the delimiter : and store them into two different variable like username should get stored in $usr and password should store in $passwd. i will use this variable in further script


im trying from very long time to hw to achive this. i will be very thank full if some one help me.... Smilie

Name
       shexp - display password expiration information for a user

Syntax
       shexp [-q] [username]

Description
       The command is used to display a user's password expiration information.  The specified username, or logname if no username is supplied, is
       converted to a UID by searching through the passwd file.  The UID is then used to look up the user's entry in  the  Auth  Data  Base.   The
       password expiration information is then printed out in format.
       % shexp
       Expires Tue Dec	6 10:49:18 EST 1988
       If  the	password  has  already expired the word Expires will be replaced with the word Expired. If password expiration is disabled for the
       particular user in question the output of will be Never expires.

Options
       -q   Instead of displaying the expiration date and time in format, outputs it as three decimal numbers: the minimum password lifetime,  the
	    maximum password lifetime, and the password modification time.  All three numbers are displayed as they are found in the database.

Restrictions
       Only the super-user may obtain information about users with UIDs other than the real UID of the invoking process.

Diagnostics
       User not found in passwd data base.
       There is no entry in for the specified username.

       Cannot stat auth file.
       The database is missing (security features may not be enabled).

       Insufficient privilege.
       An insufficiently privileged user is asking for information about a username with a UID different then their current real-UID.

       An exit value of 0 indicates a successful operation, any other exit status indicates an error.
