Project description

FS-Encrypted

Introduction

The EncryptedFS is a file system implementation that provides encryption and decryption functionalities for files. It is built using PyFilesystem and AES encryption. This allows minimal modification for existing applications to use Example:

from fs_encrypted.encrypted_fs import EncryptedFS
import base64

#Generate and Store your keys securely !!!
key = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(b"Hello I'm a 32bit encoded string") 

# Create a directory called secure_data 
file_system = EncryptedFS("./secure_data", key)

# create a file called my_secrets.txt and encrypt as it's written to
with file_system.open("my_secrets.txt", "w") as file : 
   file.write(b"Top Secret Data!!")

# read and decrypt my_secrets
with file_system.open("my_secrets.txt", "r") as file : 
   file.read()

Installation

Use pip or poetry to install

pip install fs-encrypted

or

poetry add fs-encrypted

Usages

Applications that may require sensitive data storage should use an encrypted file system. By providing a layer of abstraction on top of the encryption our hope is to make it easier to store this data.

  • PII / PHI
    • Print Billing systems
    • Insurance services / Identity cards
  • Data Transfer
  • Secure distributed configuration

Fernet is used as the encryption method (v0.1), this may become a configurable option in future revisions

Development

Clone the fs-encrypted repository https://github.com/thevgergroup/fs-encrypted

Development is done using poetry

Tests are run as

poetry run python -m unittest tests/*.py
