a Python implementation of TripleSec

A Python port of the TripleSec library. See also the JS implementation.

Compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3.

Installation

pip install TripleSec

Usage

Instantiate a triplesec.TripleSec(key=None) object, with or without a key (if omitted it will have to be specified at each use), then use the encrypt(message, key=None) and decrypt(ciphertext, key=None) methods.

All values must be binary strings (str on Python 2, bytes on Python 3)

Shortcuts

The (unkeyed) functions encrypt and decrypt are exposed at the module level.

Command line tool

TripleSec offers a triplesec command line tool to encrypt and decrypt messages from the terminal.

Here is the help:

Both the key and the message can be specified as text or as hex if prepended with 0x
The key, if omitted, will be requested

API

Sphinx documentation coming soon.

Example

>>> import triplesec
>>> x = triplesec.encrypt(b"IT'S A YELLOW SUBMARINE", b'* password *')
>>> print(triplesec.decrypt(x, b'* password *').decode())
IT'S A YELLOW SUBMARINE

>>> from triplesec import TripleSec
>>> T = TripleSec(b'* password *')
>>> x = T.encrypt(b"IT'S A YELLOW SUBMARINE")
>>> print(T.decrypt(x).decode())
IT'S A YELLOW SUBMARINE
