Contributions welcome.
It's a good idea to encrypt your files locally before sending them out, even if you trust the service. Here's a short how-to.
Encrypt with 256 bit AES:
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in <infile> -out <outfile>
Decrypt:
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in <infile> -out <outfile>
Skip the -in
and -out
options to make openssl use STDIN
or STDOUT
.
See man enc
for information on available ciphers. aes-256-cbc
and bf
are
what I generally use.
