# Codecrypt
|
|
|
|
The post-quantum cryptography tool.
|
|
|
|
#### About
|
|
|
|
This is a GnuPG-like unix program for encryption and signing that uses only
|
|
quantum-computer-resistant algorithms:
|
|
|
|
- McEliece cryptosystem (compact quasi-dyadic variant) for encryption
|
|
- Hash-based Merkle tree algorithm (FMTSeq variant) for digital signatures
|
|
|
|
#### Why this?
|
|
|
|
Go read http://pqcrypto.org/
|
|
|
|
#### Links
|
|
|
|
- infopage: http://e-x-a.org/codecrypt/
|
|
- *package downloads*: http://e-x-a.org/codecrypt/files/
|
|
|
|
#### Documentation
|
|
|
|
There is a complete, UNIXy manual page supplied with the package. You can view it online here: http://e-x-a.org/codecrypt/ccr.1.html
|
|
|
|
## Quick How-To
|
|
|
|
Everything is meant to work mostly like GnuPG, but with some good simplicity
|
|
margin. Let's play with random data!
|
|
|
|
ccr -g help
|
|
ccr -g fmtseq128-sha --name "John Doe" # your signature key
|
|
ccr -g mceqd128 --name "John Doe" # your encryption key
|
|
|
|
ccr -K #watch the generated keys
|
|
ccr -k
|
|
|
|
ccr -p -a -o my_pubkeys.asc -F Doe # export your pubkeys for friends
|
|
|
|
#see what people sent us
|
|
ccr -ina < friends_pubkeys.asc
|
|
|
|
#import Frank's key and rename it
|
|
ccr -ia -R friends_pubkeys.asc --name "Friendly Frank"
|
|
|
|
#send a nice message to Frank (you can also specify him by @12345 keyid)
|
|
ccr -se -r Frank < Document.doc > Message_to_frank.ccr
|
|
|
|
#receive a reply
|
|
ccr -dv -o Decrypted_verified_reply.doc <Reply_from_frank.ccr
|
|
|
|
#rename other's keys
|
|
ccr -m Frank -N "Unfriendly Frank"
|
|
|
|
#and delete pukeys of everyone who's Unfriendly
|
|
ccr -x Unfri
|
|
|
|
## Option reference
|
|
|
|
For completeness I add listing of all options here (also available from
|
|
`ccr --help`)
|
|
|
|
Usage: ./ccr [options]
|
|
|
|
Common options:
|
|
-h, --help display this help
|
|
-V, --version display version information
|
|
-T, --test perform (probably nonexistent) testing/debugging stuff
|
|
|
|
Global options:
|
|
-R, --in input file, default is stdin
|
|
-o, --out output file, default is stdout
|
|
-a, --armor use ascii-armored I/O
|
|
-y, --yes assume that answer is `yes' everytime
|
|
|
|
Actions:
|
|
-s, --sign sign a message
|
|
-v, --verify verify a signed message
|
|
-e, --encrypt encrypt a message
|
|
-d, --decrypt decrypt an encrypted message
|
|
|
|
Action options:
|
|
-r, --recipient encrypt for given user
|
|
-u, --user use specified secret key
|
|
-C, --clearsign work with cleartext signatures
|
|
-b, --detach-sign specify file with detached signature
|
|
|
|
Key management:
|
|
-g, --gen-key generate specified keypair, `help' lists algorithms
|
|
-k, --list list keys
|
|
-K, --list-secret
|
|
-i, --import import keys
|
|
-I, --import-secret
|
|
-p, --export export keys
|
|
-P, --export-secret
|
|
-x, --delete delete matching keys
|
|
-X, --delete-secret
|
|
-m, --rename rename matching keys
|
|
-M, --rename-secret
|
|
|
|
Key management options:
|
|
-n, --no-action on import, only show what would be imported
|
|
-N, --name specify a new name for renaming or importing
|
|
-F, --filter only work with keys with matching names
|
|
-f, --fingerprint format full key IDs nicely for human eyes
