Hello rizwan.shaukat,

I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
  • Is this homework/assignment? There are specific forums for these.
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What output/errors do you get?
  • What OS and version are you using?
Most importantly, What have you tried so far?

Commands

SunOS usoradb2d 5.10 Generic_150400-40 sun4v sparc sun4v

i have file TESTFILE.csv, i try to encrypt file using below command and public key. It encrypted

Code:
encrypt -a arcfour -k publickey.asc -i TESTFILE.csv -o TESTFILE00.csv

than i am using private key to decrypt

Code:
decrypt -a arcfour -k privatekey.asc -i TESTFILE55.csv -o TESTFILE66.csv

it's not working, if I am using same publickey.asc then decryption happens


Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment Please wrap code and data input/output in CODE tags, like this:-
Quote:
[CODE]This is my code[/CODE]
to produce the following (fixed character width, space respected):-
Code:
This is my code

Not only does it make posts far easier to read, but CODE and ICODE sections respect multiple space and have fixed width characters, which is important for easily seeing input/output requirements.


Regards,
