Another AES algorithm encrypt/decrypt string with password
AES (Rijndael) implementations for Emacs
This package provides AES algorithm to encrypt/decrypt Emacs
string. Supported algorithm desired to get interoperability with
openssl command. You can get decrypted text by that command if
you won't forget password.
## Install:
Put this file into load-path'ed directory, and
___!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYTE COMPILE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!___
And put the following expression into your .emacs.
(require 'kaesar)
## Usage:
* To encrypt a well encoded string (High level API)
`kaesar-encrypt-string' <-> `kaesar-decrypt-string'
* To encrypt a unibyte string with algorithm (Middle level API)
`kaesar-encrypt-bytes' <-> `kaesar-decrypt-bytes'
* To encrypt a unibyte with algorithm (Low level API)
`kaesar-encrypt' <-> `kaesar-decrypt'
## Sample:
* To encrypt my secret
Please ensure that do not forget `clear-string' you want to hide.
(defvar my-secret nil)
(let ((raw-string "My Secret"))
(setq my-secret (kaesar-encrypt-string raw-string))
(clear-string raw-string))
* To decrypt `my-secret'
(kaesar-decrypt-string my-secret)
## NOTE:
Why kaesar?
This package previously named `cipher/aes` but ELPA cannot handle
such package name. So, I had to change the name but `aes` package
already exists. (That is faster than this package!) I continue to
consider the new name which contains "aes" string. There is the
ancient cipher algorithm caesar
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher
K`aes`ar is change the first character of Caesar. There is no
meaning more than containing `aes` word.
How to suppress password prompt?
There is no official way to suppress that prompt. If you want to
know more information, please read `kaesar-password` doc string.
