If you want to encrypt a file, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src bash
|
|
|
|
gpg -c file.txt
|
|
|
|
# options include :
|
|
# gpg -c file.txt : for symmetric encryption
|
|
# gpg -d file.txt.gpg : to decrypt the file
|
|
# gpg --batch -c --passphrase mypassphrase file.txt : accepts passphrase right from command line
|
|
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
and to decrypt, use:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src bash
|
|
|
|
gpg -d file.txt
|
|
|
|
# You have to wait 10 minutes before you can get prompted for a password, before this, it will
|
|
# decrypt without the passphrase.
|
|
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
gpg --batch -c --passphrase Shakkal123! passwords.md
|
|
|
|
gpg --batch -d --passphrase Shakkal123! passwords.md.gpg
