naclfile 0.0.2

A python xxxFile like (ie GzipFile, BZ2File, ...) for manipulating Nacl encrypted files.

NaclFile

This project is part of the CofferFile : https://github.com/bibi21000/CofferFile

Encrypt your files with PyNacl SecretBox.

Install

    pip install naclfile

Create your encryption key

    from nacl import utils

    key = utils.random(SecretBox.KEY_SIZE)

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 :

    from naclfile import open as nacl_open

    with nacl_open('test.nacl', mode='wt', secret_key=key, encoding="utf-8") as ff:
        ff.write(data)

    with nacl_open('test.nacl', "rt", secret_key=key, encoding="utf-8") as ff:
        data = ff.read()

    with nacl_open('test.nacl', mode='wt', secret_key=key, encoding="utf-8") as ff:
        ff.writelines(data)

    with nacl_open('test.nacl', "rt", secret_key=key, encoding="utf-8") as ff:
        data = ff.readlines()

Binary files :

    import naclfile.zstd

    with naclfile.zstd.open('test.nacz', mode='wb', secret_key=key) as ff:
        ff.write(data)

    with naclfile.zstd.open('test.nacz', "rb", secret_key=key) as ff:
        data = ff.read()

Crypt and compress ... for better performances.

Look at https://github.com/bibi21000/CofferFile/blob/main/BENCHMARK.md.

    from naclfile.zstd import open as nacl_open

    with nacl_open('test.nacz', mode='wb', secret_key=key) as ff:
        ff.write(data)

    with nacl_open('test.nacz', "rb", secret_key=key) as ff:
        data = ff.read()

Crypt and compress your tar files

    from naclfile.tar import open as tar_open

    with tar_open('test.tarcz', mode='w', secret_key=key) as ff:
        ff.add(file1,'file1.data')
        ff.add(file2,'file2.data')

    with tar_open('test.tarcz', "r", secret_key=key) as ff:
        ff.extractall()
