COMMANDS
  message:decrypt
  message:encrypt
  message:sign
  message:verify

Decrypt message

Decrypts a previously encrypted message from a given sender public key for a known nonce using your secret passphrase.

Important: As the secret passphrase is a sensitive input, it can be provided using one of the methods described in the Sensitive Inputs section. The encrypted message can be provided either directly as an argument, or by specifying a source with the –message option. If both the secret passphrase and the encrypted message are provided via stdin, the secret passphrase must be provided in the first line, and the encrypted message must be provided in the subsequent lines.

 
USAGE
  $ lisk message:decrypt SENDERPUBLICKEY NONCE [MESSAGE]

ARGUMENTS
  SENDERPUBLICKEY  Public key of the sender of the message.
  NONCE            Nonce used during encryption.
  MESSAGE          Encrypted message.

OPTIONS
  -j, --[no-]json
      Prints output in JSON format. You can change the default behavior in your config.json file.

  -m, --message=message
      Specifies a source for providing a message to the command. If a string is provided directly as an argument, this option will be
      ignored. The message must be provided via an argument or via this option. Sources must be one of `file` or `stdin`. In the case
      of `file`, a corresponding identifier must also be provided.
      	Note: if both secret passphrase and message are passed via stdin, the passphrase must be the first line.
      	Examples:
      	- --message=file:/path/to/my/message.txt
      	- --message="hello world"

  -p, --passphrase=passphrase
      Specifies a source for your secret passphrase. Command will prompt you for input if this option is not set.
      	Examples:
      	- --passphrase='my secret passphrase' (should only be used where security is not important)

  --[no-]pretty
      Prints JSON in pretty format rather than condensed. Has no effect if the output is set to table. You can change the default
      behavior in your config.json file.

DESCRIPTION
  Decrypts a previously encrypted message from a given sender public key for a known nonce using your secret passphrase.

EXAMPLE
  message:decrypt bba7e2e6a4639c431b68e31115a71ffefcb4e025a4d1656405dfdcd8384719e0 4b800d90d54eda4d093b5e4e6bf9ed203bc90e1560bd628d dcaa605af45a4107a699755237b4c08e1ef75036743d7e4814dea7

Example JSON output

}

Encrypt message

This encrypts a message for a given recipient public key using your secret passphrase.

This command uses the Lisk Elements passphrase module to encrypt a message you provide for a given public key using a randomly generated nonce. In order to decrypt the encrypted message later the recipient will need your public key, (in order to verify that the message came from you), including the nonce and the secret passphrase which matches the specified public key.

Important: As the secret passphrase is a sensitive input, it can be provided using one of the methods described in the Sensitive Inputs section. The encrypted message can be provided either directly as an argument, or by specifying a source with the –message option. If both the secret passphrase and the encrypted message are provided via stdin, the secret passphrase must be provided in the first line, and the encrypted message must be provided in the subsequent lines.

 
USAGE
  $ lisk message:encrypt RECIPIENTPUBLICKEY [MESSAGE]

ARGUMENTS
  RECIPIENTPUBLICKEY  Public key of the recipient of the message.
  MESSAGE             Message to encrypt.

OPTIONS
  -j, --[no-]json
      Prints output in JSON format. You can change the default behavior in your config.json file.

  -m, --message=message
      Specifies a source for providing a message to the command. If a string is provided directly as an argument, this option will be ignored. The message must be provided via an argument or via this option. Sources must be one of `file` or
      `stdin`. In the case of `file`, a corresponding identifier must also be provided.
      	Note: if both secret passphrase and message are passed via stdin, the passphrase must be the first line.
      	Examples:
      	- --message=file:/path/to/my/message.txt
      	- --message="hello world"

  -p, --passphrase=passphrase
      Specifies a source for your secret passphrase. Command will prompt you for input if this option is not set.
      	Examples:
      	- --passphrase='my secret passphrase' (should only be used where security is not important)

  --[no-]pretty
      Prints JSON in pretty format rather than condensed. Has no effect if the output is set to table. You can change the default behavior in your config.json file.

DESCRIPTION
  Encrypts a message for a given recipient public key using your secret passphrase.

Decrypts your secret passphrase using the password which was provided at the time of encryption.

The following command listed below decrypts your secret passphrase after being encrypted with the encrypted passphrase command. The password which was used to encrypt the secret passphrase, as well as the initialisation vector (IV), which was randomly generated at the time of encryption will be required here:

Important: As the secret passphrase is a sensitive input, it can be provided using one of the methods described in the Sensitive Inputs section. The encrypted message can be provided either directly as an argument, or by specifying a source with the –message option.
