In dide-tools/encryptr: High Level Encryption Wrappers

cyphr internal structures

This directory is used by cyphr and contains:

• test - a small file used to test whether encryption/decrpytion is possible with your key
• Files in keys/ are encrypted copies of the (symmetric) data key, encrypted with different users' public keys. The filename is based on the fingerprint of the public key (see ?openssl::fingerprint)
• Files in requests/ which are pending requests for access

Templates

You can edit the files template/request and template/authorise and they will be used to provide feedback when requesting access and authorising keys. Because this step requires some out-of-band communication this can be useful.

Within the template/request template the string $HASH will be substituted for your key's hash, and within template/authorise the string $USERS will contain the usernames of added users.
