# NAME

enc - symmetric cipher routines

# SYNOPSIS

gmssl enc -ciphername [-help] [-ciphers] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-pass arg] [-e] [-d] [-a/-base64] [-A] [-k password] [-kfile filename] [-K key] [-iv IV] [-S salt] [-salt] [-nosalt] [-z] [-md digest] [-p] [-P] [-bufsize number] [-nopad] [-debug] [-none] [-engine id]

# DESCRIPTION

The symmetric cipher commands allow data to be encrypted or decrypted using various block and stream ciphers using keys based on passwords or explicitly provided. Base64 encoding or decoding can also be performed either by itself or in addition to the encryption or decryption.

对称密码命令允许使用基于密码或明确提供的密钥的各种块和流密码来加密或解密数据。 Base64编码或解码也可以通过本身或加密或解密来执行。

# OPTIONS

-help

  Print out a usage message.

  输出使用信息

-ciphers

  List all supported ciphers.

  列出所有支持的密码。

-in filename

  the input filename, standard input by default.

  输入的文件名，默认为标准输入。

-out filename

  the output filename, standard output by default.

  输出的文件名，默认为标准输出。

-pass arg

  the password source. For more information about the format of arg see the PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS section in -e

  encrypt the input data: this is the default.

  进行加密操作，默认操作。

-d

  decrypt the input data.

  进行解密操作。

-a

  base64 process the data. This means that if encryption is taking place the data is base64 encoded after encryption. If decryption is set then the input data is base64 decoded before being decrypted.

  base64处理数据。这意味着加密结果进行64位编码。解密前先进行base64解码。

-base64

  same as -a

  和-a一样。

-A

  if the -a option is set then base64 process the data on one line.

  将生成的结果在文件中只有一行。

-k password

  the password to derive the key from. This is for compatibility with previous versions of GmSSL. Superseded by the -pass argument.

  加密口令。这是为了当前GmSSL版本的兼容。

-kfile filename

  read the password to derive the key from the first line of filename. This is for compatibility with previous versions of GmSSL. Superseded by the -pass argument.

  指定口令存放的文件。

-md digest

  Use the specified digest to create the key from the passphrase. The default algorithm is SM3.

  运用指定摘要算法来从密码中创建密钥。默认算法为SM3.

-nosalt

  don't use a salt in the key derivation routines. This option SHOULD NOT be used except for test purposes or compatibility with ancient versions of GmSSL.

  在密钥导出例程中不使用salt，除了测试目的或与以前版本的Gmssl兼容，不应使用此选项。

-salt

  use salt (randomly generated or provide with -S option) when encrypting (this is the default).

  在加密过程中使用salt（默认设置）。

-S salt

  the actual salt to use: this must be represented as a string of hex digits.

  salt的值为16进制。

-K key

  the actual key to use: this must be represented as a string comprised only of hex digits. If only the key is specified, the IV must additionally specified using the -iv option. When both a key and a password are specified, the key given with the -K option will be used and the IV generated from the password will be taken. It probably does not make much sense to specify both key and password.

  用的实际密钥值：这个必须提出，它是一个16进制的输入口令。如果没有这个选 项IV必须用-IV选项指定。当key和密钥都指定时，用-K选项给定的key将会被使 用，而使用密钥来产生初始化向量IV。不建议两者都指定。

-iv IV

  the actual IV to use: this must be represented as a string comprised only of hex digits. When only the key is specified using the -K option, the IV must explicitly be defined. When a password is being specified using one of the other options, the IV is generated from this password.

  实际上使用的初始化向量：这个必须提出，它是一个16进制的输入口令。如果没有这个选 项IV必须用-IV选项指定。当一个密钥用其中一个选项所指定，IV将会与偶这个口令 值来产生。

-p

  print out the key and IV used.

  打印使用的密钥和IV。

-P

  print out the key and IV used then immediately exit: don't do any encryption or decryption.

  打印使用的key和IV然后直接退出，不做加密和解密操作。

-bufsize number

  set the buffer size for I/O

  设置I/O操作的缓冲区大小。

-nopad

  disable standard block padding

  没有数据填充。

-debug

  debug the BIOs used for I/O.

  调试用于I/O的BIO。

-z

  Compress or decompress clear text using zlib before encryption or after decryption. This option exists only if GmSSL with compiled with zlib or zlib-dynamic option.

  在加密或解密之后使用zlib压缩或解压缩明文。 只有使用zlib或zlib- dynamic选项编译的GmSSL时，此选项才会存在。

-none

  Use NULL cipher (no encryption or decryption of input).

  不对数据进行加解密操作。

# NOTES

The program can be called either as gmssl ciphername or gmssl enc -ciphername. But the first form doesn't work with engine-provided ciphers, because this form is processed before the configuration file is read and any ENGINEs loaded.

Engines which provide entirely new encryption algorithms (such as ccgost engine which provides gost89 algorithm) should be configured in the configuration file. Engines, specified in the command line using -engine options can only be used for hardware-assisted implementations of ciphers, which are supported by GmSSL core or other engine, specified in the configuration file.

When enc command lists supported ciphers, ciphers provided by engines, specified in the configuration files are listed too.

A password will be prompted for to derive the key and IV if necessary.

The -salt option should ALWAYS be used if the key is being derived from a password unless you want compatibility with previous versions of GmSSL.

Without the -salt option it is possible to perform efficient dictionary attacks on the password and to attack stream cipher encrypted data. The reason for this is that without the salt the same password always generates the same encryption key. When the salt is being used the first eight bytes of the encrypted data are reserved for the salt: it is generated at random when encrypting a file and read from the encrypted file when it is decrypted.

Some of the ciphers do not have large keys and others have security implications if not used correctly. A beginner is advised to just use a strong block cipher in CBC mode such as bf or des3.

All the block ciphers normally use PKCS#5 padding also known as standard block padding: this allows a rudimentary integrity or password check to be performed. However since the chance of random data passing the test is better than 1 in 256 it isn't a very good test.

If padding is disabled then the input data must be a multiple of the cipher block length.

All RC2 ciphers have the same key and effective key length.

Blowfish and RC5 algorithms use a 128 bit key.

# SUPPORTED CIPHERS

Note that some of these ciphers can be disabled at compile time and some are available only if an appropriate engine is configured in the configuration file. The output of the enc command run with unsupported options (for example gmssl enc -help) includes a list of ciphers, supported by your version of GmSSL, including ones provided by configured engines.

The enc program does not support authenticated encryption modes like CCM and GCM. The utility does not store or retrieve the authentication tag.

# EXAMPLES

Just base64 encode a binary file:

     gmssl base64 -in file.bin -out file.b64

Decode the same file

     gmssl base64 -d -in file.b64 -out file.bin

Encrypt a file using triple DES in CBC mode using a prompted password:

     gmssl des3 -salt -in file.txt -out file.des3

Decrypt a file using a supplied password:

     gmssl des3 -d -salt -in file.des3 -out file.txt -k mypassword

Encrypt a file then base64 encode it (so it can be sent via mail for example) using Blowfish in CBC mode:

     gmssl bf -a -salt -in file.txt -out file.bf

Base64 decode a file then decrypt it:

     gmssl bf -d -salt -a -in file.bf -out file.txt

Decrypt some data using a supplied 40 bit RC4 key:

     gmssl rc4-40 -in file.rc4 -out file.txt -K 0102030405

# BUGS

The -A option when used with large files doesn't work properly.

There should be an option to allow an iteration count to be included.

The enc program only supports a fixed number of algorithms with certain parameters. So if, for example, you want to use RC2 with a 76 bit key or RC4 with an 84 bit key you can't use this program.
