Two different RsynCrypto scenario's

[Jan A. <jan...@do...>]

Hi,

 

I was just wondering if there was any difference in the level of encryption
for the two following scenario's.

 

In the first scenario I generate a certificate and a key. Encryption is done
with the certificate and decryption is done with the key. See these commands
directly below.

 

openssl.exe req -days 35600 -newkey rsa:1536 -keyout cert.key -nodes -x509
-out cert.crt -config openssl.conf"

rsyncrypto test_clear.txt test_enc.txt test.key cert.crt

rsyncrypto -d test_enc.txt test_clear.txt test.key cert.key"

 

In the second scenario I only generate an RSA key and both encrypt and
decrypt the files with this key. See the commands directly below.

 

openssl.exe req -days 35600 -newkey rsa: 1536 -keyout private.key -nodes
-config openssl.conf"

rsyncrypto test_clear.txt test_enc.txt test.key private.key"

rsyncrypto -d test_enc.txt test_clear test.key cert.key"

 

Any information is appreciated.

 

Warm regards,

 

Jan
