Hi, general question about cryptography...

[Braden Speer]

I had a friend make me backups of some pretty important information, and for some reason I can't get my head around it...
It seems there was a passphrase associated with the files which I recall, but honestly the format I'm not certain how to access, mind you this is a question to OpenBSD because it is known for it's particular interest in cryptography, yet the files are somehow attributed to Windows XP - just to put it out there, I have no idea what to do... here's a screenshot about a file and it's attributes, hopefully someone can help me out.

In the main properties window it says this,

Name of Signer:
Microsoft Windows Component Publisher

Digest Algorithm:
sha1

Then this slew of information, in the attached image...

I just need directions unto how to decrypt the information, and a program, or OpenBSD commands, which I might need to do so.

Thank you so much,
-Braden.

OT, but that’s a signature and doesn’t imply that the content has been encrypted. I suggest you ask your friend about it.
