kybercffi 1.0.1

Python CFFI bindings for Kyber post-quantum cryptography

KyberCFFI

Python CFFI buildings for post-quantum cryptography algorithm Kyber

Description

KyberCFFI provides Python bindings for the reference implementation of the Kyber cryptographic algorithm, winner of the NIST post-quantum cryptography competition. The library uses CFFI to efficiently interact with the original Kyber C code.

Supported variants

• Kyber512 - Security level 1 (equivalent to AES-128)
• Kyber768 - Security level 3 (equivalent to AES-192)
• Kyber1024 - Security level 5 (equivalent to AES-256)

Installation

pip install kybercffi

Requirements

• Python >= 3.8
• CFFI >= 1.15.0
• C compiler

Quick start

import kybercffi

# Create a Kyber768 instance
kyber = kybercffi.Kyber768()

# Generate key pair
public_key, secret_key = kyber.generate_keypair()

# Encapsulation (create shared secret)
ciphertext, shared_secret = kyber.encapsulate(public_key)

# Decapsulation (recover shared secret)
recovered_secret = kyber.decapsulate(ciphertext, secret_key)

# Verification
assert shared_secret == recovered_secret
print("Kyber работает корректно!")

Convenient functions

from kybercffi import generate_keypair, encapsulate, decapsulate

# Generate keys with specified security level
pk, sk = generate_keypair(security_level=3)  # Kyber768

# Encapsulation
ct, ss = encapsulate(pk, security_level=3)

# Decapsulation
ss2 = decapsulate(ct, sk, security_level=3)

Factory method

# Creating an instance via the factory
kyber512 = kybercffi.KyberKEM.create(security_level=1)   # Kyber512
kyber768 = kybercffi.KyberKEM.create(security_level=3)   # Kyber768
kyber1024 = kybercffi.KyberKEM.create(security_level=5)  # Kyber1024

Information about variants

# Getting information about all variants
info = kybercffi.get_kyber_info()
print(info)

# Getting version information
version_info = kybercffi.get_version_info()
print(version_info)

Size of key and encrypted text
