myvault.sh

Version: 1.0.0
Web:http://www.dctrwatson.com/2010/10/introducting-myvault
Download:http://github.com/dctrwatson/myvault

myvault.sh is a shell script for editing an ecrypted text file stored as $HOME/.myvault

The text file is symmetrically encrypted using aes-256 and a random 32 character password that is generated every time the script is run. The password is then encrypted using an RSA key (Default: $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa)

It can also be used to encrypt and decrypt arbitrary files using the same method.

Requirements

  • OpenSSL

Setup

If you do not already have an RSA key generated, use the following command to do so.:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
  • Note: It's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use a passphrase on the key.

Usage

myvault.sh [-f FILE] [-k KEYFILE] [-p KEYFILE] [-e] [-d] [in_file] [> out_file]

-f FILE
Specify an encrypted text file (Default: $HOME/.myvault)
-k KEYFILE
Specify a private RSA key file (Default: $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa)
-p KEYFILE
Specify a public key file (Default: {PRIVATE_KEYFILE}.pub.pem)
-e
Encrypt in_file to STDOUT
-d
Decrypt in_file to STDOUT

Notes

myvault.sh uses the EDITOR and TMPDIR environment variables for some configuration.

If EDITOR is not defined, it defaults to vim.
