How to decrypt a message saved on SESAR using SECT Tool

How do I decrypt a message saved on SESAR using SECT Tool?

Decrypting messages stored on SESAR can be done by following a series of simple steps using the SECT Tool. Here is a detailed guide to walk you through the process.

Step 1: Prepare the files and open SECT Tool

  1. Open the unencrypted version of the SESAR configuration file. This file contains the information needed to decrypt your messages, such as the private keys.
  2. Launch SECT Tool, the application dedicated to decrypting messages encrypted through SESAR.
  3. Identify the encrypted messages you wish to decrypt and move them to a temporary folder to make them easier to process.

Step 2: Enter the keys in SECT Tool

  1. Using the SESAR configuration file, fill in the key fields in SECT Tool.
  2. Make sure the information provided is correct, as it is essential for the decryption to complete successfully.
Note: the Base64 Key is highlighted in blue in the image. It is everything that comes before the @ symbol. The Base64 IV is highlighted in pink in the image and represents everything that comes after the @ symbol on the "PrivateAESKey" line of your SESAR configuration file.

Step 3: Run the file processing

  1. Select the action you want, "Encrypt" or "Decrypt".
  2. In the field provided, enter the path to the temporary folder where you placed the encrypted files.
  3. Click the "Process" button to start the decryption. SECT Tool then decrypts the messages placed in the specified temporary folder.
Note: to re-encrypt the messages, follow the same procedure, but select the "Encrypt" action.
