Credman

A little command line tool based on RustCrypto: RSA library

Usage

To encrypt your secret just do

credman --input-data "My secret" --regenerate-priv-key

this will produce multiple files, including encrypted data, the private key in postcard and pem format Without the --regenerate-priv-key, Credman would crash due to the fact, there is no private key file given.

For more help, please call credman --help.

Motivation

I just wanted to create a RSA-Key as a binary blob, which I can include via include_bytes! macro. Credman is the outcome and may be seen as feature complete. Nevertheless improvements are welcome.

Possible Improvements

  • Write some command line tests
  • Introduce a state machine to cover e.g. a given public key only
  • introduce other serde serializers and switch via command line paramter, maybe also configurable as package feature
