Hi, some of you might have heard about the new freenigma encryption service for Firefox. For those who want to play with it and use it in ther ways, I have written a command line tool to access that service. It is not yet very advanced but not too large files (i.e. they need to fit into the core) may be encrypted and decrypted. See the README for details (below). I plan to extend this tool over time.
To successfully build it you need to have GNUTLS installed (e.g. for Debian "apt-get install libgnutls11-dev"). ftp://ftp.g10code.com/g10code/freenigma/freenigma-service-0.5.0.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.g10code.com/g10code/freenigma/freenigma-service-0.5.0.tar.bz2.sig Shalom-Salam, Werner ======== FREENIGMA-SERVICE =================== Version 0.5 A tool to access the freenigma service from the command line.

"freenigma" is a registered trademark of the freenigma GmbH. How to install ============== Standard configure and make procedure applies. As of now the checks done by configure are very limited, so please make sure that a development version of GNUTLS is installed. How to use ========== You need an account on a freenigma server. In this example we assume this account is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. To encrypt the file foo.txt to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> you would use: frngmsvc -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] --encrypt [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you need to encrypt to more people, just add their mail addresses. The output goes to stdout. If you receive the encrypted file "bar.txt.asc", you use: frngmsvc -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] --decrypt foo.txt.asc and as usual the output goes to stdout. If you don't want to use the -u option, you may always put this into your Bourne shell's init file. [EMAIL PROTECTED]; export FREENIGMA_USER There are a couple of other options available, run with the option --help to see them. Currently all operations are done in memory so take care when processing large files. That's all.
