Or rather, most likely, your keys? How do you know which key is which? So you have some data lying around… which key is it encrypted with? With gpg, these questions are easy to answer. With the openssl utility, they aren't. Also, do you care about data integrity, or only confidentiality? (CBC doesn't provide integrity.) | |
