Encrypting and Decrypting Simple Texts

The cipher tool encrypts and decrypts simple texts. You can launch the tool by running the ciphertool.sh and ciphertool.bat scripts available at <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin directory. The arguments accepted by this tool are as follows:

• keystore - If keys are in a store , its location
• storepass - Password to access the keyStore
• keypass - To get private key
• alias - Alias to identify key owner
• storetype - Type of the keystore. Default is JKS
• keyfile - If key is in a file
• opmode - Encrypt or decrypt. Default is encrypt
• algorithm - Encrypt or decrypt algorithm. Default is RSA
• source - Either cipher or plain text as an in-lined form
• outencode - Currently base64 and used for encoding the result
• inencode - Currently base64 and used to decode input
• trusted - Is KeyStore a trusted store? If this argument is provided, consider as a trusted store
• passphrase - if a simple symmetric encryption using a pass phrase shall be used

For example,

ciphertool.bat -source testpass -keystore resources/security/client-truststore.jks -storepass wso2carbon -alias wo2carbon -outencode
base64 -trusted
