I am interested in automating an encrypted backup procedure, with off-site uploading (hence the encryption).
The one thing I'm totally lost on is the 43 different cypher algorythms offered by openssl (0.9.7a Feb 19 2003); such as the difference between des, des-cbc, des-cfb, etc.
However, I think I've figured out how to salt them properly and securely...
What I need to know is how the various sub-algorythms (des, dec-cbc, etc) act on the file, and how big a salt/password I can feed them--the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned, I have sources I'd like to protect
