REOP(1) General Commands Manual REOP(1) NAME reop -- reasonable expectation of privacy SYNOPSIS reop -D -x encfile reop -E [-1b] [-i ident] -m message -p pubkey -s seckey reop -S [-e] [-x sigfile] -s seckey -m message reop -V [-eq] [-x sigfile] -p pubkey -m message DESCRIPTION The reop utility creates and verifies cryptographic signatures and en- crypts and decrypts files. The mode of operation is selected with the following options: -D Decryption, both public key and symmetric. -E Encryption, both public key and symmetric. When run with- out a public key, will ask for a password and perform sym- metric encryption. When run with a public key, will encrypt the message so that it can be decrypted by the matching secret key. Pub- lic key encryption also uses encryptor's secret key to au- thenticate the message. Once encrypted, the message can only be decrypted by recipient's secret key. Although au- thenticated, messages are deniable (forgeable by recipi- ent). -G Generate a new key pair. -S Sign the specified message file and create a signature. -V Verify the message and signature match. The other options are as follows: -1 Encrypt messages using older v1 format. -b Use a binary format for encrypted files. This can result in a considerable space savings over the default base64 encoded format. Decryption automatically detects the correct format. -e When signing, create a signed message instead of just a signature. -i ident Specify the ident to be created during key generation or looked up when using public cryptography. -m message When signing, the file containing the message to sign. When verifying, the file containing the message to ver- ify. When encrypting or decrypting, the plaintext. -n Do not ask for a passphrase during key generation. Oth- erwise, reop will prompt the user for a passphrase to protect the secret key. -p pubkey Public key produced by -G, and used by other commands. -q Quiet mode. Suppress informational output. -s seckey Secret (private) key produced by -G, and used by other commands. -x xfile The signature file to create or verify. The default is message.sig. When encrypting, the encrypted file. The default is message.enc. The key and data files created by reop have similar format. A plain text line of the form ident: is used to match key pairs. Most of the actual key data follows and is base64 encoded. The ~/.reop directory is searched for default keys named: seckey User's secret key pubkey User's public key pubkeyring User's set trusted of trusted third party keys, searched by ident. EXIT STATUS The reop utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. It may fail because of one of the following reasons: • Some necessary files do not exist. • Entered passphrase is incorrect. • The message file was corrupted and its signature does not match. • The message file is too large. EXAMPLES Create a new key pair. $ reop -G -p newkey.pub -s newkey.sec Create a new key pair, assuming the ~/.reop directory exists: $ reop -G Sign a file, specifying a signature name: $ reop -S -s key.sec -m message.txt -x msg.sig Verify a signed message, using the default identity: $ reop -V -x generalsorders.sig FreeBSD ports 15.0 March 16, 2014 REOP(1)
