- The AES key is randomly generated (AesProvider.GenerateKey) per user per session (which means one key for every person an user is chatting with) and the IV is randomly generated (AesProvider.GenerateIV) by passing in the key generated, each time a message is created (before being sent).
- Encrypt the File Using the Generated Key. Now that you have a good random password, you can use that to AES encrypt a file as seen in the 'with passwords' section $ openssl aes-256-cbc -in secret.txt -out secret.txt.enc -pass file:secret.txt.key Decrypting the file works the same way as the 'with passwords' section, except you'll have to pass.
GPG (Gnu Privacy Guard) is an Open source implementation of Open PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) asymmetric encryption protocol. It generates a key pair of Public and Private keys to encrypt and decrypt your files. Public keys are generally used to encrypt file and they cannot decrypt. On the other hand, Private keys can only decrypt encrypted files. Private keys are also encrypted with symmetric encryption to keep them secure.
Apr 27, 2016 Encrypt data using AES and 256-bit keys AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard and is an industry-standard algorithm for encrypting data symmetrically which even the US government has approved for SECRET documents.
Usage
If you’re Kali or Parrot Security OS user, then “gpg” will most probably be pre-installed. If you’re using some other distro then you can install it by typing
user@user:~$ sudoapt-get install gpg -y
Now generate a key pair
root@user:~$ gpg --full-gen-key
It’ll ask you to select key type, you can choose whatever you want. Then it’ll ask you to enter the size, the longer size you enter, the longer it’ll take to generate the keys but then generated keys will be more secure than others. You can also set the expiry date for your keys and their description in comments.

After these prompts, it’ll ask you for a passphrase. This passphrase will be used to encrypt your private keys using symmetric encryption, so even if your private keys are stolen, no body can use them to decrypt your files.
It’ll ask you to re-enter the passphrase, then after pressing enter it’ll take a while to generate the key pair.
Encryption
Now Public & Private key pair is generated, and you can use this to encrypt and decrypt your files. We’ll create a test file to encrypt and decrypt using gpg.
root@user:~/gpg# cd gpg/
root@user:~/gpg# nano secret.txt
Now enter anything into the text file Lesson 1 generating equivalent expressions answer key exit ticket.
Now encrypt the “secret.txt” file by specifying the user email in generated key pair. Type the following, in my example
root@user:~/gpg# ls -la
An encrypted file with extension “.gpg” will be generated in the folder. That file is encrypted and secured using your Public key of your key pair. This file now only be decrypted by using your private key.
root@user:~/gpg# cat secret.txt.gpg
As you can see this encrypted file is whole new altered version of the original file which can’t be restored without the help of Private key.
Decryption
Now delete the original file secret.txt and then decrypt the gpg file using Private key
root@user:~/gpg# gpg -d secret.txt.gpg
It’ll ask you for a passphrase of Private key
And then it’ll display the decrypted content of the file in the output.
Conclusion
There are variety of solutions available to implement different types of encryption techniques. Tools like TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt are used to encrypt hard drives and partitions but these aren’t efficient for general file or document encryption. GPG is a free and easy-to-use tool that can be used to encrypt secret files using secure asymmetric encryption which cannot be easily brute-forced.

| Demonstrates how to use RSA to protect a key for AES encryption. It can be used in this scenario: You will provide your RSA public key to any number of counterparts. Your counterpart will generate an AES key, encrypt data (or a file) using it, then encrypt the AES key using your RSA public key. Your counterpart sends you both the encrypted data and the encrypted key. Since you are the only one with access to the RSA private key, only you can decrypt the AES key. You decrypt the key, then decrypt the data using the AES key. This example will show the entire process. (1) Generate an RSA key and save both private and public parts to PEM files. (2) Encrypt a file using a randomly generated AES encryption key. (3) RSA encrypt the AES key. (4) RSA decrypt the AES key. (5) Use it to AES decrypt the file or data.
