| Summary | 0000213: Chiasmus encrypted files (.xia) | ||||
| Description | Chiasmus (https://www.bsi.bund.de/EN/Topics/OtherTopics/Chiasmus/Chiasmus_node.html) is encryption software used by many public authorities in Germany. It would be great if file library could detect .xia files. | ||||
| Additional Information | Detection should be easy: the first characters in the file are always "XIA". An example file is attached. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I am really sorry, but this turned out to be a duplicate. Detection of Chiasmus files was already implemented in https://github.com/file/file/blob/master/magic/Magdir/bsi So the newly added file https://github.com/file/file/blob/master/magic/Magdir/crypto should be removed. The problem is that it's only the "textual description" which gets set if the file type is detected. But the MIME-type remains "application/octet-stream". Which indeed should be the case according to https://datatypes.net/open-xia-files However, in the past there were some attempts to introduce special MIME types for Chiasmus files, e.g. from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23255: - application/x-chiasmus-key Chiasmus key - application/x-chiasmus-encrypted Chiasmus encrypted data Would it be possible to add such MIME types to the File library? |
