Fortify

Fortify is a command-line tool designed to enhance file security through encryption.

Features

• Fortifies any file through encryption, then decrypts or executes the fortified files.
• Encrypts file using AES-256.
• Protects the AES secret key with either Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) or RSA encryption.

Usage Overview

Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS)

Encryption

Encrypt files with randomly generated key parts:

fortify encrypt -i <input_file> -o <output_file>

Encrypt files with specified key parts:

fortify sss random -b 32 -p <number_of_shares> -t <threshold>
fortify encrypt -i <input_file> <key_part1> <key_part2> ...

Decryption

Decrypt files with specified key parts:

fortify decrypt -i <fortified_file> <key_part1> <key_part2> ...

Execution

Execute fortified files with specified key parts:

fortify execute -i <fortified_file> <key_part1> <key_part2> ...

RSA Encryption

Encryption

Encrypt files with RSA public key:

fortify encrypt -i <input_file> -k rsa <public_key_file>

Decryption

Decrypt files with RSA private key:

fortify decrypt -i <fortified_file> <private_key_file>

Execution

Execute fortified files with RSA private key:

fortify execute -i <fortified_file> <private_key_file>

Build

To build the project, run:

bash build.sh

After building, execute the following commands to confirm the result:

pushd build && ./fortify -h && ./fortify version; popd

Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS)

Splitting and Combining Secret Shares

To split and combine secret shares, use the following commands:

pushd build/sss && ../fortify sss split -vT ../fortify; popd

pushd build/sss && ../fortify sss combine -o combined.out -vT 1of5.json 3of5.json 5of5.json; popd

Tips:

• For enhanced security, store generated secret shares in different locations.
• While suitable for processing large files, this method may not be optimal for smaller files.

Encrypting with Randomly Generated Secret Key

Encrypt files with randomly generated key parts:

pushd build/sss && ../fortify encrypt -i ../fortify -T; popd

Decrypt fortified files with specified key parts:

pushd build/sss && ../fortify decrypt -i fortified.data -T fortified.key1of2.json fortified.key2of2.json; popd

Execute fortified files with specified key parts:

pushd build/sss && ../fortify execute -i fortified.data fortified.key1of2.json fortified.key2of2.json -- encrypt -h; popd

Encrypting and Decrypting with Specified Key Parts

Generate new random key parts:

pushd build/sss && ../fortify sss random -p3 -t2 --prefix p; popd

Encrypt files using specified key parts:

pushd build/sss && ../fortify encrypt -i ../fortify -vT p1of3.json p2of3.json; popd

Decrypt fortified files using specified key parts:

pushd build/sss && ../fortify decrypt -i fortified.data -vT p1of3.json p3of3.json; popd

Execute fortified files using specified key parts:

pushd build/sss && ../fortify execute -i fortified.data p2of3.json p3of3.json; popd

RSA Encryption

Generate RSA key pairs:

bash debug_keygen.sh

Encrypting with RSA Public Key

Encrypt files using RSA public key:

pushd build/rsa && ../fortify encrypt -i ../fortify -k rsa -vT ../../debug/key_rsa/id_rsa.pub; popd

Encrypt files using RSA public key in PEM format:

pushd build/rsa && ../fortify encrypt -i ../fortify -k rsa -vT ../../debug/key_rsa/id_rsa_pem.pub; popd

pushd build/rsa && ../fortify encrypt -i ../fortify -k rsa  -vT ../../debug/key_rsa/id_rsa_pkcs8.pub; popd
# Will Fail

• PKCS #8 public key is unsupported

pushd build/rsa && ../fortify encrypt -i ../fortify -k rsa -vT ../../debug/key_rsa/id_rsa_rfc4716.pub; popd
# Will Fail

• RFC 4716 public key is unsupported

Execute Fortified Files with RSA Private Key

Execute fortified files using RSA private key:

pushd build/rsa && ../fortify execute -i fortified.data ../../debug/key_rsa/id_rsa; popd

Execute fortified files using RSA private key in PEM format:

pushd build/rsa && ../fortify execute -i fortified.data ../../debug/key_rsa/id_rsa_pem; popd

Execute fortified files using RSA private key in RFC 4716 format:

pushd build/rsa && ../fortify execute -i fortified.data ../../debug/key_rsa/id_rsa_rfc4716; popd

pushd build/rsa && ../fortify execute -i fortified.data ../../debug/key_rsa/id_rsa_pkcs8; popd
# Will Fail

• encrypted PKCS #8 private key is unsupported
