Our UNIX-based organization is preparing to send encrypted data to a

We have openSSL 0.9.8 on UNIX. We create the keys and will send them
to the client in one process, then encrypt the data files and send
them to the client in a different process.
I don't know much about openSSL on Windows. My question:
- is it possible to configure Windows with openSSL to use the keys
and decrypt the files encrypted on UNIX?
Yes
- how difficult is this operation?
Are you using OpenSSL CLI tools on UNIX?
If so do the same on windows; compile OpenSSL and use the transferred
keys and decrypt the data.
Since the client seems to think that this is difficult to do, I
would appreciate if you guide me in the right direction. In the end
it is the client's responsibility to do it, but I'd like to have an
idea of what's involved.
Thank you
