AMAESPIPE(8) System Administration Commands AMAESPIPE(8)NAME
amaespipe - wrapper program for aespipe
SYNOPSIS
amaespipe
DESCRIPTION
amaespipe requires aespipe, uuencode and gpg to work. Aespipe is available from : http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net
amaespipe will search for the aespipe program in the following directories: /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin.
amaespipe is called by amcrypt for Amanda data encryption.
amaespipe is based on aespipe's bzaespipe program. It calls aespipe to encrypt data using AES256 as the encryption and SHA256 as the hash
function. GPG key should be stored in $AMANDA_HOME/.gnupg/am_key.gpg. amaespipe reads passphrase from file descriptor 3. During
decryption, amaespipe autodects encryption type and hash function from the encrypted image.

AMCRYPT-OSSL(8) System Administration Commands AMCRYPT-OSSL(8)NAME
amcrypt-ossl - crypt program for Amanda symmetric data encryption using OpenSSL
SYNOPSIS
amcrypt-ossl [-d]
DESCRIPTION
amcrypt-ossl uses OpenSSL to encrypt and decrypt data. OpenSSL is available from www.openssl.org. OpenSSL offers a wide variety of cipher
choices ( amcrypt-ossl defaults to 256-bit AES) and can use hardware cryptographic accelerators on several platforms.
amcrypt-ossl will search for the OpenSSL program in the following directories:
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ssl/bin:/usr/local/ssl/bin.
PASSPHRASE MANAGEMENT
amcrypt-ossl uses the same pass phrase to encrypt and decrypt data. It is very important to store and protect the pass phrase properly.
Encrypted backup data can only be recovered with the correct passphrase.
OpenSSL's key derivation routines use a salt to guard against dictionary attacks on the pass phrase; still it is important to pick a pass
phrase that is hard to guess. The Diceware method (see www.diceware.com) can be used to create passphrases that are difficult to guess and
easy to remember.
FILES
/var/lib/amanda/.am_passphrase
File containing the pass phrase. It should not be readable by any user other than the Amanda user.

We have a C program which does the encryption and decryption. It is running fine in UNIX 386. But the same C program is giving different results in HP UX server.
We found that the Ascii codes (output) are different. I don;t know why it is giving different results. How can we get the same output... (4 Replies)
Dear Friends,
I have been using symmetric gpg encryption. I encrypt a file as follows
gpg --symmetric <file name>
then It asks to enter password two times
Now the problme is, I have some 700 odd files to be encrypted by using symmetric gpg encription
Can u plz tell me how to do that by... (14 Replies)
Hello,
Hopefully not doing something too unconventional here, and someone might be able to assist me. I simply want to know what the parameters are that I use with the encrypt command in Solaris10. The system has the SUNWcry module added, so should be able to encrypt up to AES 256 strength. I'm... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I have a requirement to encrypt a file using gpg with a public key. However when i encrypt a file, i get a question like 'Do you want to go ahead with unverified user?' . when i press 'y' file is encrypted.
I am not able to automate this job because of this interactive mode. Could... (3 Replies)
We need to have many of our users all send encrypted files to a single FTP server. The problem, if I understand how encryption/decryption works (which I don't), is that each user would normally have their own private and public key. The other end needs to be able to decrypt the file(s) using a... (6 Replies)
Hi All,
I am working on Solaris 10 OS on X4170M2 server. I have some .gpg encrypted files and i want to decrypt them but i dont know how to install the binary of gpg.
Here is the binary in system :

Hi. I'm hitting issues using gpg to encrypt a text file on Linux.
gpg -c --passphrase 123 --cipher-algo AES256 test
gpg: cancelled by user
gpg: error creating passphrase: Operation cancelled
gpg: symmetric encryption of `test' failed: Operation cancelled
In this case the file test just... (3 Replies)
