Hello all. I'd need to handle an archive with many big files (~200GB each). The system receives "plain" files in a "dropbox" folder, then encrypts 'em to a (set of) public key(s) (no corresponding private keys on this system) and deletes source files. Up to this point it should be OK (a cronnable script with a lot of checks is mostly ready).
But my big doubt is how to handle archive reading in an efficient way. The naive way would be to let an authorized user decode the file and reencode it for the requester, but that would mean that this authorized user should have quite a lot of space available (twice the dataset size, at least). Is it possible to "extract" the used session key, so that the requester just ignores the asymmetric crypto and just uses the symmetric key to decode the file? Drawbacks? Other ideas?
