How do you ensure that a large remote file is encrypted? Hmm.. That's a good point. At first I thought that this was just a symptom of my simplified example, but it may actually be a fundamental flaw in my design. Thank you for pointing it out -- I'll look into it. |

How do you ensure that a large remote file is encrypted? Aah, no - I'm interested in encrypting the actual file. Transmission of the file may or may not be secure. I want the actual binaries to be encrypted so that anyone who downloads them won't be able to access the contents unless they have the key. The trouble I'm running into is checking that the server has actually encrypted the file. I want to be 100% sure that anyone downloading these files will be getting encrypted binaries. |

How do you ensure that a large remote file is encrypted? You're totally right that an unencrypted upload would be vulnerable. However, in my case the files are actually generated by the server. (I've simplified the situation substantially just to keep the question manageable.) I'm just trying to find if there's a way that I can ensure that the remote files are actually encrypted without downloading them and inspecting them on my local machine. They are encrypted automatically server-side, and I want to double check that things haven't been tampered with - a double safety net kind of. |
