=head1 NAME

xmlsec-cipher - Perform basic encryption and decryption of XML documents

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<xmlsec-cipher> [B<-i>] ([B<-d>] | B<-de> | B<-ef> | B<-ex>) [B<-x>]
    [B<-o> I<output>] B<-k> [kek] (I<filename> [I<password>] | I<key-string>)
    I<input>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<xmlsec-cipher> encrypts or decrypts an XML document following the XML
Digital Signature and Encryption specifications using the Apache XML
Security for C++ library.  The default action is to decrypt the input
file.  Other operations can be selected with the B<-de>, B<-ef>, or B<-ex>
options.  The result of the operation, whether encryption or decryption,
will be printed to standard output.

=head1 OPTIONS

Note that each option must be given as a separate argument.

=over 4

=item B<--decrypt>, B<-d>

Reads in the input file as an XML file, searches for an EncryptedData
node, and decrypts the output, printing it to standard output.  This is
the default operation and does not need to be specified.

=item B<--decrypt-element>, B<-de>

Reads in the input file as an XML file and prints it out with the fist
encrypted element decrypted.

=item B<--encrypt-file>, B<-ef>

Reads the input file as raw data and creates an XML EncryptedData document
as output, containing the encrypted version of that input data.

=item B<--encrypt-xml>, B<-ex>

Parse the input file as XML, find the document element, and encrypt the
document, outputting the result as an XML EncryptedData document.

=item (B<--key> | B<-k>) [kek] I<type> I<filename> [I<password>]

=item (B<--key> | B<-k>) [kek] I<type> I<key-string>

Specifies the key to use for encryption or decryption.

If the first argument following the B<--key> or B<-k> option is the string
C<kek>, the following key argument will be used as a Key EncryptionKey.

I<type> specifies the key type and must be one of X509, RSA, AES128,
AES192, AES256, AES128-GCM, AES192-GCM, AES256-GCM, or 3DES.

The remaining arguments depend on the key type.  For X509, only a
I<filename> may be given and must contain an RSA KEK certificate.  For
RSA, a I<filename> and I<password> may specify an RSA private key file and
its password (this must be a KEK).  For the other key types, the last
argument is the string to use as the key.

=item B<--xkms>, B<-x>

The key specified after this argument on the command line is interpreted
as an XKMS RSAKeyPair encryption key.

=item B<--interop>, B<-i>

Use hte interop resolver for Baltimore interop examples.

=item B<--out-file> I<file>, B<-o> I<file>

Rather than printing the result to standard output, write it to the
specified file.

=back

=head1 RETURN STATUS

B<xmlsec-cipher> exits with status 0 if the encryption or decryption
operation was successful and with status 1 if it failed.  If it cannot
process the input file for some reason, it exits with status 2.
