Certencryption - Store strings encrypted.
This is a module which stores strings (like passwords, private keys, ...) in a secure way. Certencryption uses OpenSSL private key for encryption.
use Certencryption;
user "root";
password decrypt($encrypted_string);
To use this module you need a private key with which you can decrypt your data. You also need a public key with which you can encrypt your data.
To generate a public/private keypair you can use the provided generate_key task.
rex Certencryption:generate_key [--name=default [--size=4096]]This will create a folder keys and place the two keyfiles in it.
To encrypt or decrypt strings you have to include the Certencryption module in your Rexfile.
use Certencryption;
key_file "keys/default";
user "root";
password decrypt($encrypted_string);The key_file command tells the module which key file it should use for the decryption. To encrypt a string you also need to have a public key. In this example the public key should be found in keys/default.pub.
my $base64_encrypted_string = encrypt("this is secret");To define which padding should be used, you can define this with the padding function. The default is pkcs1_oaep. Valid padding option are:
- pkcs1_oaep (default)
- pkcs1
- sslv23 (due to a bug, only for decryption)
