# Utilities
A couple of useful utilities built on top of the library.
Each of the utilities accepts the `--help` flag, which can be used to examine
the utility's usage info.
The included utilities are:
* [block encryption] utilities,
* [file encryption] utilities,
* and [bitmap encryption] utilities.
## Block encryption
Block encryption utilities can produce verbose human-readable output, including
round keys, intermediate initialization vector values, etc.
Those are primarily intended for debugging purposes.
Enable verbose output by passing the `--verbose` flag to a utilities.
Please note that verbose output can only be produced when *not* using the
"boxes" interface (the `--use-boxes` flag).
### encrypt_block.exe
Encrypts blocks using the selected algorithm in the specified mode of
operation.
For example, to encrypt
* the plaintext block `0x00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff`
* using AES-128 in ECB mode
* with key `0x000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f`,
run:
encrypt_block.exe -a aes128 -m ecb 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff
To encrypt
* the plaintext block `0x00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff`

* and key `0x000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f101112131415161718`,
run:
encrypt_block.exe -a aes192 -m ofb 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f101112131415161718 22222222222222222222222222222222 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff
### decrypt_block.exe
Decrypts blocks using the selected algorithm in the specified mode of
operation.
For example, to decrypt
* the ciphertext block `0x69c4e0d86a7b0430d8cdb78070b4c55a`
* using AES-128 in ECB mode
* with key `0x000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f`,
run:
decrypt_block.exe -a aes128 -m ecb 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f 69c4e0d86a7b0430d8cdb78070b4c55a
To decrypt
* the ciphertext block `0x762a5ab50929189cefdb99434790aad8`
* using AES-192 in OFB mode
* with initialization vector `0x22222222222222222222222222222222`
* and key `0x000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f101112131415161718`,
run:
decrypt_block.exe -a aes192 -m ofb 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f101112131415161718 22222222222222222222222222222222 bda298884f5c3a9eb7068aa7063a3b75
## File encryption
### encrypt_file.exe
Encrypts a file using the selected algorithm in the specified mode of
operation.
For example, to encrypt the plaintext from `input.txt`
* using AES-128 in ECB mode
* with key `0x11111111111111111111111111111111`
* and write the ciphertext to `output.txt`,
run:
encrypt_file.exe -a aes128 -m ecb -k 11111111111111111111111111111111 -i input.txt -o output.txt
To encrypt the plaintext from `input.txt`
* using AES-192 in OFB mode
* with key `0x111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111`
* and initialization vector `0x22222222222222222222222222222222`
* and write the ciphertext to `output.txt`:
run
encrypt_file.exe -a aes192 -m ofb -k 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 -v 22222222222222222222222222222222 -i input.txt -o output.txt
### decrypt_file.exe
Decrypts a file using the selected algorithm in the specified mode of
operation.
To decrypt the ciphertext from `input.txt`
* using AES-128 in ECB mode
* with key `0x11111111111111111111111111111111`
* and write the plaintext to `output.txt`,
run
decrypt_file.exe -a aes128 -m ecb -k 11111111111111111111111111111111 -i input.txt -o output.txt
To decrypt the ciphertext from `input.txt`
* using AES-192 in OFB mode
* with key `0x111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111`
* and initialization vector `0x22222222222222222222222222222222`
* and write the plaintext to `output.txt`,
run
decrypt_file.exe -a aes192 -m ofb -k 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 -v 22222222222222222222222222222222 -i input.txt -o output.txt
## Bitmap encryption
These utilities were developed primarily to demonstrate the drawbacks of using
ECB mode (namely, the fact that identical plaintext blocks get mapped to
identical ciphertext blocks).
This can be explicitly shown using 8-bit-per-pixel bitmaps:
Plaintext BMP | Encrypted in ECB mode | Encrypted in CBC mode
---------------- | --------------------- | ---------------------
![butterfly.bmp] | ![cipherfly_ecb.bmp] | ![cipherfly_cbc.bmp]
### encrypt_bmp.exe
Encrypts the pixels in a BMP image file, preserving the header.
The usage is the same as for [encrypt_file.exe].
### decrypt_bmp.exe
Decrypts the pixels in a BMP image file, preserving the header.
The usage is the same as for [decrypt_file.exe].
