Hi all, Background: My application reads an encrpyted-base64 password from a config file and decrypts the same inside the application. The password is encryped using Triple-DES algorithm.
To encrypt and base64 the actual password, a stand-alone utility is provided. We run this utility, and then copy-paste the generated password in the config file. Of course, the key, the IV (Salt not used) are same (hard-coded) in both the applications. So far, so good. Now, we have to make the keys available in another file (Which will be kept under more security). Both the applications are to read the key from the file. Now, we have to generate the key and then write out the key in the file. Question: So, the question is: How can we generate a key for Triple DES encryption and write out the same in a file? I tried the genrsa and dsa options but they seem to generate keys for RSA/DSA encryptions. Also, we can specify the length of modulus in those keys. But they will not map well in T-Des case. Any pointers would be welcome. Thanks. // PS: Pls ignore the following disclaimer.
