Decrypt encrypted LibreOffice documents with known password
Good morning.
The AES encryption which is apparently used in LibreOffice to protect files with passwords is quite efficient. Not that LibreOffice were the only office-suite which proposes that feature. But as regards OpenDocument files, there is hardly an equivalent for the time.
As AES is now a fairly common algorithm, there are programs and utilities different from LibreOffice which should be able to decrypt a file (content.xml to be exact), when the correct password is provided.
Doing some testing, I cannot figure this out.
Question: Can you?
Request: PSE only answer to this post, if you know where content.xml is found and have a notion of the OpenDocument file-structure. TY.
Background: As indicated, above, there are programs which would be able to read and write ODT, but are currently not supporting encrypted OpenDocument.
... yeah. And, of course, I am generating documents and manipulate them outside any office-suite. Having encryption at my disposal would be cool ( ⇦ not more than that, though).
Cheerio.
