Switches

"-ALG" - specify encryption algorithm

Choose encryption algorithm: Blowfish448 or DESX128. May be used with the commands: ENCRYPT, SFX

Syntax

-ALG=<algorithm name> where algorithm can be:

• DESX
• BLOWFISH
• RIJNDAEL or AES
• CAST
• 3DES
• RC2
• DIAMOND2
• TEA
• SAFER
• 3WAY
• GOST
• SHARK
• SQUARE
• SKIPJACK
• TWOFISH or 2FISH
• MARS
• SERPEN

Note: algorithm, marked with (*) symbols is included into professional version only. To check which version of AEP2009 do you have, just choose menu item Help->About...

algorithm, which are not marked with (*) are present in standard version (not professional).

Examples:

a) encrypt all *.txt files on drive e: using AES algorithm

AEP encrypt=pasw -alg=rijndael -recurse e:\*.txt

"-DESTINY" or "-DNY" - specify destiny of source files

Choose destiny of source files. Source files can be shredded (wiped) or deleted.

May be used with the commands: ENCRYPT, DECRYPT, ENCRYPTRSA, DECRYPTRSA, SFX

Syntax

-DESTINY=<SHRED | DELETE | LEAVE>

or

-DNY=<S | D | L >

Examples:

a) encrypt all *.tiff files in "d:\my thumbnails" folder and all subolders using blowfish algorithm and then SHRED TIFF files after encryption AEP e=password12345 -destiny=shred "d:\my thumbnails\ *.tiff"

b) decrypt *.cpp.blow files into *.cpp files and then delete original encrypted files

AEP decrypt="K4Fgr5*der" -dny=d "*.blow"

"-COMPRESS" or "-C" - enable compressing data during encryption

Disable compression of data during encryption. May be used with the commands: ENCRYPT, SFX, ENCRYPTRSA

This key should be used when you encrypt files like .zip, .rar, jpg, gif. I.e. which are compressed already. In this case internal compression will not be effective, so, it should be disabled.

Syntax

-COMPRESS

or

-C

Examples:

a) encrypt mystuff.zip in current folder without compression AEP e="fkEkfle" mystuff.zip

b) encrypt mystuff.txt in current folder using compression

AEP e="fkEkfle" -c mystuff.txt

"-RIDDLE" or "-RD" - specify riddle text for password

Attached special riddle for password to file after encryption: May be used with the commands: ENCRYPT, SFX

Information

This command helps you to remember password of encrypted file

Syntax

-RIDDLE="riddle for password"

or

-R=riddle

Examples:

a) encrypt all *.dat files using DESX algorithm and attach our riddle to each encrypted file

AEP e="fido" rd="my dat password is name of my dog" -alg=desx *.dat

"-YESTOALL" or "-Y" - Answer "Yes" on all program quaestions

May be used with the commands: ENCRYPT, ENCRYPTRSA, DECRYPT, DECRYPTRSA, SFX

Information

Automatically presses "Yes" or "Ok" button on all dialogs with questions

Syntax

or

-Y

Examples:

a) decrypt all *.txt.aep" files into *.txt and do not ask "Would you like to overwrite existing files".

AEP d="password" -y c:\folder\*.aep

"-RECURSE" or "-R" - recurse subfolders

Enables subfolder recursion. May be used with the commands: ENCRYPT, ENCRYPTRSA, DECRYPT, DECRYPTRSA, SHRED, SFX

Information

When used with the commands ENCRYPT, DECRYPT, SHRED, SFX, files in all sub-folders will be processed as well as in the current working folder.

Syntax

-RECURSE

or

-R

Examples:

a) encrypt contents of drive E:. Securely delete original files after encryption. Please note, if any file was encrypted with errors, it will NOT be deleted.

AEP encrypt="supakuja" -r -dny=s e:\*.*

b) wipe ALEX01.JPG, ALEX02.JPG, ALEXAA.JPG and other similar files files from drive D:

AEP sd -recurse d:\alex*.jpg
