CRYPT_DIR

• Encrypt all your files and write into another directory if there is update
• Clean the encrypted directory if files or directories have been deleted
• Restore
• Minimize writing to SSDs

USAGE

• encrypt

# User maintains two directories plain_dir and encrypted_dir
import crypt_dir

plain_dir = "plain"
encrypted_dir = "encrypted"
restored_dir = "restored"

key = crypt_dir.make_key_from_passphrase(b"passphrase1234")

# Delete all files, directories in encrypted_dir that don't exist in the plain_dir
crypt_dir.clean_encrypted_dir(
    plain_dir=plain_dir,
    encrypted_dir=encrypted_dir,
)

# read files in plain_dir, encrypt and write files into encrypted_dir if needed using 12 workers
crypt_dir.update_encrypted_dir(
    key=key,
    plain_dir=plain_dir,
    encrypted_dir=encrypted_dir,
    max_workers=12,
)

• restore

import crypt_dir

plain_dir = "plain"
encrypted_dir = "encrypted"
restored_dir = "restored"

key = crypt_dir.make_key_from_passphrase(b"passphrase1234")

# restore all files in encrypted_dir using 12 workers
crypt_dir.restore_encrypted_dir(
    key=key,
    encrypted_dir=encrypted_dir,
    restored_dir=restored_dir,
    max_workers=12,
)

• certificate

import crypt_dir

correct_passphrase = b"passphrase123"

cert = crypt_dir.make_certificate(correct_passphrase)
print("cert", cert)

try:
    wrong_passphrase = b"passphrase456"
    _ = crypt_dir.verify_certificate(cert, wrong_passphrase)
except AssertionError as e:
    print("expected assertion error: ", e)

key = crypt_dir.verify_certificate(cert, correct_passphrase)

print("generated key from correct passphrase", key)

INSTALLATION

pip install --upgrade crypt-dir

SPECIFICATION 1.*

You don't need to know the specification. For some folks who want to know exactly what happened with their files, here is the specification for key_file and .enc1 files:

• if key_file does not exist, crypt_dir will create a random key of 32 bytes using os.urandom encoded into hex

• two algorithms are used in crypt_dir: SHA1 and AES-256 in CBC mode

• encrypted files are updated only if file is modified (mtime changes)

• file is decrypt-able if signature matches key

• .enc1 file

  • header:

    • file_sig: little-endian encoded mtime of file in uint64
    • key_sig: SHA1 bytes of key
    • file_size: little-endian encoded file size in uint64
    • init_vec: AES256 initialization vector

  • file encrypted: AES256 file encrypted bytes with chunk size of 2^30
