johnnyvf24 / openssl-evp-sign-des Goto Github PK

This program does the following:
1. Decryptes a session key using a third party RSA public key.
2. Saves the plaintext session key to file.
3. Encryptes a provided plaintext using DES with a key and iv derived from the session key.
4. Signs the ciphertext of the plaintext with an RSA private key.
5. Saves the ciphertext and the signature.

--------------------------------- COMPILATION ------------------------------------

A makefile has been included. All it does is compile everything and include the lcrypto
library required for the EVP openssl calls. Once 'make' has finished a new executable named
'EncAndSign' will be created. 

----------------------------------- USAGE -----------------------------------------
To use the program the following must be provided:

1. A plaintext file
2. A PUBLIC KEY in PEM format (presumably a third party public key)
3. A Session Key
4. A PRIVATE KEY in PEM format

Example usage:
./EncAndSign -p plaintext -pubk public.key -sk encrypted.key -privk private_key.pem


Let's go over the arguments:
-p <plaintextFile>          Include a plaintext file to encrypt using DES.
-pubk <public_key_file>     Include a public Key file in PEM format
-sk <session_key>           A session key for symmetric encryption.
                            (Must be 512 bytes, only first 8 bytes will be used.)
-privk <private_key_file>   A private key file in PEM format

Running the above command will output several files those files are:

1. sessionKey.key    The saved plaintext sessionkey.
2. output.bin        The ciphertext of the provided DES file.
3. signature         A signature of the SHA256 hash of the ciphertext.

---------------------------------- OPTIONAL ARGS -------------------------------------
There are a few convenience arguments that are accepted by the program.

First and foremost, if you want to see what exactly is happening at runtime, enable the 
debug argument, '-d'.

Also, incase you want to change the name of the output files here are a few extra args:

-kout       Name the file where the plaintext session key will be outputted to.
-out        Name the file where the ciphertext of the plaintext will be saved.
-sigout     The name of the file where the signature is placed.
