Can you talk more about this? I can't find anything in the OpenSSL wiki and my searching skills haven't revealed much except about the possibility of the ciphertext being modified when using AES-256-CBC.
- d-z-m 3y agoI had thought it used to be all over the manpages for the openssl command, but I can't seem to locate it now. It's my understanding that the openssl command line tool wasn't(and isn't) designed for serious production cryptographic use. It was developed as a way to test the functionality of the library, not as a robust way to encrypt files/data on the command line.
