CAST5 as default cipher algorithm.

Question

CAST5 as default cipher algorithm.

opened this issue 8 years ago · comments

Its possible to change the default cipher method to AES256, I used to save my passwords in a file encrypted with AES256. Its possible to add this to the script? Or CAST5 its just fine and secure?
Thanks in advance.

I am not qualified to comment about the quality of CAST5 (it's probably fine, if it's the default), but personally set AES256 in my GnuPG configuration file (~/.gnupg/gpg.conf) like so: https://github.com/drduh/config/blob/master/gpg.conf#L9
