Encrypted-Configs

A flexible option to encrypt and decrypt a sensitive yaml or json configuration file.

Encrypt/Decrypt YAML or JSON configurations

This module encrypts sensitive yaml/json configurations and decrypts data as needed by the application/script. It offers the following two modes to handle encryption/decryption keys.

Modes - Managing symmetric keys

1. Default mode: Library generates encryption keys and maintains it for decryption/distribution.

2. User owns responsibility of managing his/her encrypted key in a secure vault solution and feeds the key to ths library as required.

Install this package

pip install enconfigs

Tested on

1. Ubuntu 22.04 with python 3.11
2. MacOS Sonoma 14.5 with python 3.11

Create sample scripts to test functionality

>>> from enconfigs.secureconfigs import SecureConfig
>>> inputdata={'key1': 'value1', 'key2': ['val2', 2]}  ## Input a json data
>>> secureobj = SecureConfig("/tmp/encryptedfile.yml") ## Target location of file where encrypted data must be stored.
True                                                   ## Indicates data was encrypted and stored successfully
>>> secureobj.update_encrypted_data(inputdata)         ## Directly provide config data that must be securely stored
>>> secureobj.decrypt_read_file()                      ## When application needs to read secure data then must call decrypt_read_file() method
{'key1': 'value1', 'key2': ['val2', 2]}

Note: Similar to the above string or list maybe an input for encryption
