EQUAL_encrypt_data: Encrypt data

Description

"Encrypts data using the public key generated by EQUAL_encrypt_generate_keys() function and openssl. This encrypts the file using symmetric AES256 algorithm and encrypts the AES key using the asymmetric RSA algorithm (4096 bits) and includes padding according to PKCS #1 v2.0 specifications."

Usage

EQUAL_encrypt_data(data, public_key_folder, key_name)

Value

iv

initialisation vector for AES key

session

RSA encrypted AES key

data

AES encrypted data

Arguments

data

Data that must be encrypted

public_key_folder
