NAME

       xmlsec-cipher - Perform basic encryption and decryption of XML documents

SYNOPSIS

       xmlsec-cipher [-i] ([-d] | -de | -ef | -ex) [-x]
           [-o output] -k [kek] (filename [password] | key-string)
           input

DESCRIPTION

       xmlsec-cipher encrypts or decrypts an XML document following the XML Digital Signature and
       Encryption specifications using the Apache XML Security for C++ library.  The default
       action is to decrypt the input file.  Other operations can be selected with the -de, -ef,
       or -ex options.  The result of the operation, whether encryption or decryption, will be
       printed to standard output.

OPTIONS

       Note that each option must be given as a separate argument.

       --decrypt, -d
           Reads in the input file as an XML file, searches for an EncryptedData node, and
           decrypts the output, printing it to standard output.  This is the default operation
           and does not need to be specified.

       --decrypt-element, -de
           Reads in the input file as an XML file and prints it out with the fist encrypted
           element decrypted.

       --encrypt-file, -ef
           Reads the input file as raw data and creates an XML EncryptedData document as output,
           containing the encrypted version of that input data.

       --encrypt-xml, -ex
           Parse the input file as XML, find the document element, and encrypt the document,
           outputting the result as an XML EncryptedData document.

       (--key | -k) [kek] type filename [password]
       (--key | -k) [kek] type key-string
           Specifies the key to use for encryption or decryption.

           If the first argument following the --key or -k option is the string "kek", the
           following key argument will be used as a Key EncryptionKey.

           type specifies the key type and must be one of X509, RSA, AES128, AES192, AES256,
           AES128-GCM, AES192-GCM, AES256-GCM, or 3DES.

           The remaining arguments depend on the key type.  For X509, only a filename may be
           given and must contain an RSA KEK certificate.  For RSA, a filename and password may
           specify an RSA private key file and its password (this must be a KEK).  For the other
           key types, the last argument is the string to use as the key.

       --xkms, -x
           The key specified after this argument on the command line is interpreted as an XKMS
           RSAKeyPair encryption key.

       --interop, -i
           Use hte interop resolver for Baltimore interop examples.

       --out-file file, -o file
           Rather than printing the result to standard output, write it to the specified file.

RETURN STATUS

       xmlsec-cipher exits with status 0 if the encryption or decryption operation was successful
       and with status 1 if it failed.  If it cannot process the input file for some reason, it
       exits with status 2.
