DESCRIPTION

GICriptoEngine is a tool for the command line allowing to
encrypt files with symmetric and asymmetric keys

REQUIREMENTS

GICriptoEngine requires the presence the .NET Framework 4.0
or later.

COMMAND LINE

GICriptoEngine.exe [Command] source_file dest_file

Commands list:
-c crypt
-d decrypts
-f creates the signing of the document file
-vf verify the signature of the document file
-k <dir> <pwd> creates the asymmetric key pair
-p <password> Sets the password for symmetric
encrypt / decrypt the file
-cert <..> pathname of the x.509 certificate or subject
to recover from the store (cn = miocert)
-pc <password> Sets the password to open the certificate
-key <..> pathname of the asymmetric key
-pk <password> Sets the password to open the key
asymmetric
-info displays program information

USE

Encryption with symmetric key

In symmetric key encryption with the same password will be
used for both encryption and decryption.

The following command encrypts the file c:\data.txt using
the password 12345678

GICriptoEngine.exe -c -p 12345678 c:\data.txt

to decrypt it is necessary to use the -d command:

GICriptoEngine.exe -d -p 12345678 c:\data.txt

To encrypt the file in a different file leaving the file
original unmodified:

GICriptoEngine.exe -c -p 12345678 c:\data.txt c:\daticriptati.txt

If you try to decrypt an decrypted file or encrypt an already
encrypted file will generate an error.

Encryption with asymmetric key

In asymmetric encryption keys you will have two keys of which
one private and one public. The public key will be used to
encrypt and the private key to decrypt.

The following command creates the key pair:

GICriptoEngine.exe -k c:\keys 12345678

In the c:\keys asymmetric keys are created contained in their
files:

C:\keys\privateKey.txt
C:\keys\publicKey.txt

12345678 is the password that will be used to encrypt the key
private. The password setting is not mandatory.

If the destination folder does not exist or folder destination
already contains the keys will be generated error.

The following command encrypts the files with asymmetric key:

GICriptoEngine.exe -key -c c:\keys\publickey.txt c:\data.txt

Must be used to decrypt the private key:

GICriptoEngine.exe -d -key c:\keys\privatekey.txt c:\data.txt -pk 12345678

The x.509 certificates contain in their interior a pair of
asymmetric keys or at least the public key.

The following command shows how to encrypt the file data.txt
using the public key contained in the certificate newCert.cer

GICriptoEngine.exe -cert -c c:\newCert.cer c:\data.txt

Using the private key of the certificate can be decrypt the
file.

GICriptoEngine.exe -cert -d c:\newCert.pfx c:\data.txt -pc 12345678

The following command encrypts the file with the certificate
stored in the computer store.

GICriptoEngine.exe -c -cert cn=www.miosito.it c:\data.txt

The search is performed in the personal archive of Current
User and in the archive the local computer.

The advantage of using a certificate stored in the store is
that it is not required to decrypt the password

GICriptoEngine.exe -d -cert cn=www.miosito.it c:\data.txt

Signature generation and validation

Using the private key file you can generate signature of a
particular file.

GICriptoEngine.exe -f -key c:\keys\privateKey.txt -pk 12345678 c:\data.txt c:\firma.txt

GICriptoEngine.exe -cert -f c:\newcert.pfx -pc 12345678 c:\data.txt c:\firma.txt

GICriptoEngine.exe -f -cert cn=astroifcert.rfi.it -pc passw0rd c:\data.txt c:\firma.txt

to test you must use the public key:

GICriptoEngine.exe -vf -key c:\keys\publicKey.txt c:\data.txt c:\firma.txt

GICriptoEngine.exe -vf -cert c:\newcert.cer c:\data.txt c:\firma.txt

GICriptoEngine.exe -vf -cert cn=astroifcert.rfi.it c:\data.txt c:\firma.txt

LOCALIZATION

For the language setting set the localization file in the key
of the configuration file GICriptoEngine.exe.config
<setting name="LanguageFile" serializeAs="String">
<value>msg_it.ini</value>
</setting>

The localization files available are:

mgs_it.ini -> Italian language
msg_eng.ini -> English language
