Usage

Overview

Idecrypt decrypts authentication tokens returned by an identd(8) server that supports encryption. The tokens can be supplied in file, or from the standard input. The decrypted tokens are displayed on the standard output.

This program will attempt to decrypt a token with all the keys stored in the key file until it succeeds (or have tried all the keys).
