Sorry, my bad. Wrong terminology. (The AES wiki says that it uses a key.) But I was really thinking about multiple passphrases.
Sorry for the mix up. So let's say I have three files: file1 file2 file3 And then I have a passphrase file that contains the following: Alice Bob Charlie and I want to encrypt file1 with the passphrase "Alice"; file2 with the passphrase "Bob" and file3 with the passphrase "Charlie". Is there a way to get openssl to automatically do that or do I need to write a program/shell script so that I will automatically increment one and pull the passphrase from the appropriate passphrase file? (Disclaimer: I am NOT a programmer. At all. By ANY stretch of the imagination.) Thanks.
