Re^2: line by line Encryption fun with Crypt::CBC and Rijndael? File Ownership issues?

We had seen that ominous note and we have version 2.24 of Crypt::CBC.

The reason I'm using Crypt::CBC is because it was suggested to me somewhere previously when I was pondering encryption. I honestly don't understand this stuff as much as I should. We originally looked at openSSL, but then I was told I had to use the AES standard which, after investigation, we thought was the Rijndael implementation.

I'm going to take the fairly large aspirin now...

I learn more and more about less and less until eventually I know everything about nothing.

You could use openssl enc -aes-256-cbc. That's probably the best compliance with the notion of "standard" that you could find. Be careful not to pass the encryption key as an environment variable, since the environment variables can be visible in ps in most Unix-like operating systems. And do double check that you have a usable /dev/urandom.	[reply]
