Project description

cryptidy

Python high level library for symmetric & asymmetric encryption

License Percentage of issues still open Maintainability codecov linux-tests windows-tests GitHub Release

This library has been written to make encryption / decryption of any python object as simple as possible. It is based on AES encryption (265 or 128 bytes).

It's main features are:

  • Encrypt any pickable Python object / variables
  • Add an UTC timestamp to the encrypted message
  • Verify that decrypted messages timestamps aren't in the future
  • Allow symmetric encryption (AES)
    • 128, 192 or 256 bits encryption
  • Allow asymmetric encryption (RSA + AES)
    • 1024, 2048 or 4096 bits encryption using AES128 (1024 bits RSA) or AES256 (2048 or 4096 bits RSA)
  • Provide the encypted data as base64 string for maximum portability between platforms and encodings
  • Unload AES key from memory as soon as possible to help prevent memory attacks

Setup

cryptidy requires Python 2.7+

pip install cryptidy

Symmetric encryption usage

from cryptidy import symmetric_encryption

key = symmetric_encryption.generate_key(32)  # 32 bytes = 256 bits

some_python_object = ['foo', 'bar']
encrypted = symmetric_encryption.encrypt_message(some_python_object, key)
timestamp, original_object = symmetric_encryption.decrypt_message(encrypted, key)

Asymmetric encryption usage

from cryptidy import asymmetric_encryption

priv_key, pub_key = asymmetric_encryption.generate_keys(2048)  # 2048 bits RSA key
some_python_object = ['foo', 'bar']
encrypted = asymmetric_encryption.encrypt_message(some_python_object, pub_key)
timestamp, original_object = asymmetric_encryption.decrypt_message(encrypted, priv_key)
