Encrypt / decrypt files from the command line.

Usage

Key Generation

With Axx is very easy to generate AES 256 encryption keys.

$ axx k > ~/.mykey.pem

⚠️ Keys must be kept safe and secure. Without the key, it would be impossible to recover an encrypted file.

File Encryption

Axx supports file encryption with key, passphrase, or passphrase + salt.

With key:

$ axx e -i ~/.mykey.pem secretstuff.txt

With passphrase:

$ axx e -p pass secretstuff.txt

With passphrase and salt:

$ axx e -p pass -s sugar secretstuff.txt

File Decryption

Axx supports file decryption with key, passphrase, or passphrase + salt.

With key:

$ axx d -i ~/.mykey.pem secretstuff.txt.enc

With passphrase:

$ axx d -p pass secretstuff.txt.enc

With passphrase and salt:

$ axx d -p pass -s sugar secretstuff.txt.enc
