Edit Question
Title
Body
We know we can encrypt a file with openssl using this command: openssl aes-256-cbc -a -salt -in twitterpost.txt -out foo.enc -pass stdin The password will be read from stdin. As such, to provide the password beforehand, all we need do is prepend echo "someGoodPassword" | to the above command. My question is: How can I do this more securely? The above method doesn't look secure enough. I'd appreciate some comments about this so I can understand this issue better.
