LocalEGA GA4GH cryptor¶
lega-cryptor is a tool to encrypt, decrypt or re-encrypt files
according to the Crypt4GH file format
.
Demonstration¶
Here is a demo of the tool using the following scenario: We have pre-created 2 keypairs, namely test.pub / test.sec
and test2.pub / test2.sec
, and we run the steps:
- Encryption with a first public key, here test.pub
- Decryption with the relevant private key (Here the test.sec, where the passphrase is given at a no-echo prompt, to unlock it)
- Re-encryption with a second public key (Here test2.pub and the private key test.sec from 2)
- Decryption using the second private key test2.sec (along with the no-echo prompted passphrase to unlock it).
