PGP_Encryption

This program is used to generate encrypted key pairs and enable encryption/decryption for files based on PGP encryption algorithm.

Different parameters need to be passed in for different scenarios, below are the examples:

command to generate key pair

java -DGEN_KEY_PAIR=1 -DENCRYPTION=0 -DDECRYPTION=0 -DID= -DPWD= -DGEN_PRIV_KEY=/ -DGEN_PUB_KEY=/ -jar

command to encrypt file

java -DGEN_KEY_PAIR=0 -DENCRYPTION=1 -DDECRYPTION=0 -DEXISTPUBKEYFILE=/ -DCIPHEREDFILEOUTPUT=/ -DORIGINALFILEINPUT=/ -jar

command to encrypt multiple files

java -DGEN_KEY_PAIR=0 -DENCRYPTION=1 -DDECRYPTION=0 -DEXISTPUBKEYFILE=/ -DORIGINALFILEINPUT=/,/ -jar

command to encrypt the whole folder

java -DGEN_KEY_PAIR=0 -DENCRYPTION=1 -DDECRYPTION=0 -DEXISTPUBKEYFILE=/ -DCIPHERDIR= -DCIPHEROUTPUTDIR= -jar PGP_Encryption-1.0-SNAPSHOT-pkg.jar

command to decrypt file

java -DGEN_KEY_PAIR=0 -DENCRYPTION=0 -DDECRYPTION=1 -DPWD= -DCIPHEREDFILEINPUT=/ -DDECRYPTEDFILEOUTPUT=/ -DPRIVATEKEYFILE=/ -jar '

The jar file is located in /target/PGP_Encryption-1.0-SNAPSHOT-pkg.jar

As for summary, below are all the parameters used for the program

GEN_KEY_PAIR

0: skip generating key pairs
1: generate key pairs

ENCRYPTION

0: skip encryption
1: do encryption

DECRYPTION

0: skip decryption
1: do decryption

ID

ID used to generate a new public key

PWD

Password to generate a new private key
Password to decrypt an existing private key

GEN_PRIV_KEY

target directory and file name for the private key

GEN_PUB_KEY

target directory and file name for the public key

CIPHERDIR

source directory to be encrypted: all files in the directory will be encrypted, if no output directory is named, then will create encrypted file in the same location

CIPHEROUTPUTDIR

output directory of the encryption when encrypting the whole directory

EXISTPUBKEYFILE

existed public key file to be used for encryption

CIPHEREDFILEOUTPUT

encrypted file as output

ORIGINALFILEINPUT

original file to be encrypted

CIPHEREDFILEINPUT

encrypted file to be deciphered

PRIVATEKEYFILE

private key file used for decryption

DECRYPTEDFILEOUTPUT

output file after decryption
