To encrypt and decrypt with Chiasmus, you need the BSI's Chiasmus command line tool for GNU/Linux. It is intended solely for use in government agencies and availabe from the BSI on request.
When executed without parameters, the chiasmus program should output something like:
Chiasmus (R) fuer Windows K 1.8.0.0 Bundesamt fuer Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik Kontakt: Chiasmus@bsi.bund.de (C) 2001 - 2005 [ ...]
Version 1.8.0.0 was tested succesfully. Other versions may or may not work correctly.
As a last preparation step a directory which will hold the key files
ending in .xis
has to be created, if none already exists. Usually
~/.chiasmus/
is used.
