Description
Created attachment 28519 A sample file encrypted with Chiasmus
Chiasmus is a encryption standard developed by the German Federal Office for Information Security ("Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik").
The encrypted files usually have an extension of .xia and start with the three letters "XIA1". I attached a sample file for your reference. Currently the bubble pop up in konqueror says "Unkown".
The chiasmus keys are usually stored in a file with an extension of .xis and have the following header: XIS *** Aendern Sie diese Datei nicht direkt!! *** (i.e. two lines with those characters, the key itself starts in the next line) and are currently by konqueror recogonized as "diff files".
I confirmed these information with the developer of Chiasmus.
For more information either see http://www.bsi.de/produkte/chiasmus/indexeng.htm with the english version or http://www.bsi.de/produkte/chiasmus/index.htm which also shows the Linux version but is only in German.
A (German) wikipedia article is also available under http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiasmus_(Software)
I initially filed this to the Debian konqueror package whose maintainer asked me to carry it upstream where David Faure requested it to be filed here.
