Re:Ask HN: Is openssl enc a good choice for file encryption? by bwackwat on Monday February 06, 2017 @08:20PM (#13586100)
I agree that using the command line for this type of problem is going to be problematic.

I also see clearly how hashing the encrypted data before "storing it at this 3rd party" would allow you to verify CBC block modifications.

I guess I don't understand GPG well enough to see how it solves this problem better than AES CBC 256. Could you perchance provide a link? Or explain how GPG would take care of this?
