FernetFile

A python xxxFile like (ie GzipFile, BZ2File, ...) for encrypting files with Fernet.

• encrypting / decrypting data using chunks to reduce memory footprint
• chainable with other python xxxFile interfaces (stream mode)
• look at BENCHMARK.md ... and chain :)
• look at tests for examples

Install

    pip install fernetfile

Create your encryption key

    from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

    key = Fernet.generate_key()

and store it in a safe place (disk, database, ...).

This key is essential to encrypt and decrypt data. Losing this key means losing the data.

"open" your encrypted files like normal files

Text files :

    import fernetfile

    with fernetfile.open('test.txc', mode='wt', fernet_key=key, encoding="utf-8") as ff:
        ff.write(data)

    with fernetfile.open('test.txc', "rt", fernet_key=key, encoding="utf-8") as ff:
        data = ff.read()

    with fernetfile.open('test.txc', mode='wt', fernet_key=key, encoding="utf-8") as ff:
        ff.writelines(data)

    with fernetfile.open('test.txc', "rt", fernet_key=key, encoding="utf-8") as ff:
        data = ff.readlines()

Binary files :

    import fernetfile

    with fernetfile.open('test.dac', mode='wb', fernet_key=key) as ff:
        ff.write(data)

    with fernetfile.open('test.dac', "rb", fernet_key=key) as ff:
        data = ff.read()

Use the FernetFile interface

    from fernetfile import FernetFile

    with FernetFile('test.dac', mode='wb', fernet_key=key) as ff:
        ff.write(data)

    with FernetFile('test.dac', mode='rb', fernet_key=key) as ff:
        data = ff.read()

Or the fast and furious FernetFile with zstd compression

    pip install fernetfile[zstd]

    from fernetfile.zstd import FernetFile

    with FernetFile('test.dac', mode='wb', fernet_key=key) as ff:
        ff.write(data)

    with FernetFile('test.dac', mode='rb', fernet_key=key) as ff:
        data = ff.read()

Or chain it to bz2

    import fernetfile
    import bz2

    class Bz2FernetFile(bz2.BZ2File):

        def __init__(self, name, mode='r', fernet_key=None, chunk_size=fernetfile.CHUNK_SIZE, **kwargs):
            compresslevel = kwargs.pop('compresslevel', 9)
            self.fernet_file = fernetfile.FernetFile(name, mode,
                fernet_key=fernet_key, chunk_size=chunk_size, **kwargs)
            try:
                super().__init__(self.fernet_file, mode=mode,
                    compresslevel=compresslevel, **kwargs)
            except Exception:
                self.fernet_file.close()
                raise

        def close(self):
            try:
                super().close()
            finally:
                if self.fernet_file is not None:
                    self.fernet_file.close()


    with Bz2FernetFile('test.bzc', mode='wb', fernet_key=key) as ff:
        ff.write(data)

    with Bz2FernetFile('test.bzc', mode='rb', fernet_key=key) as ff:
        data = ff.read()

And chain it to tar and pyzstd

    import fernetfile
    import pyzstd
    import tarfile

    class TarZstdFernetFile(tarfile.TarFile):

        def __init__(self, name, mode='r', fernet_key=None, chunk_size=fernetfile.CHUNK_SIZE, **kwargs):
            level_or_option = kwargs.pop('level_or_option', None)
            zstd_dict = kwargs.pop('zstd_dict', None)
            self.fernet_file = fernetfile.FernetFile(name, mode,
                fernet_key=fernet_key, chunk_size=chunk_size, **kwargs)
            try:
                self.zstd_file = pyzstd.ZstdFile(self.fernet_file, mode=mode,
                    level_or_option=level_or_option, zstd_dict=zstd_dict, **kwargs)
                try:
                    super().__init__(fileobj=self.zstd_file, mode=mode, **kwargs)

                except Exception:
                    self.zstd_file.close()
                    raise

            except Exception:
                self.fernet_file.close()
                raise

        def close(self):
            try:
                super().close()
            finally:
                try:
                    if self.zstd_file is not None:
                        self.zstd_file.close()
                finally:
                    if self.fernet_file is not None:
                        self.fernet_file.close()


    with TarZstdFernetFile('test.zsc', mode='wb', fernet_key=key) as ff:
        ff.add(dataf1, 'file1.out')
        ff.add(dataf2, 'file2.out')

    with TarZstdFernetFile('test.zsc', mode='rb', fernet_key=key) as ff:
        fdata1 = ff.extractfile('file1.out')
        fdata2 = ff.extractfile('file2.out')

Encrypt / decrypt existing files

Encrypt :

    import fernetfile

    with open(source, 'rb') as fin, fernetfile.open(destination, mode='wb', fernet_key=key) as fout:
        while True:
            data = fin.read(7777)
            if not data:
                break
            fout.write(data)

Decrypt :

    import fernetfile

    with fernetfile.open(source, mode='rb', fernet_key=key) as fin, open(destination, 'wb') as fout :
        while True:
            data = fin.read(8888)
            if not data:
                break
            fout.write(data)

And finally encrypt / decrypt existing files with the fast and furious FernetFile with zstd compression

Encrypt :

    import fernetfile.zstd

    with open(source, 'rb') as fin, fernetfile.zstd.open(destination, mode='wb', fernet_key=key) as fout:
        while True:
            data = fin.read(7777)
            if not data:
                break
            fout.write(data)

Decrypt :

    import fernetfile.zstd

    with fernetfile.zstd.open(source, mode='rb', fernet_key=key) as fin, open(destination, 'wb') as fout :
        while True:
            data = fin.read(8888)
            if not data:
                break
            fout.write(data)
