pycryptofile allows to encrypt/decrypt using ssh keys

Project description

pyCryptoFile

pyCryptoFile contains some functions to encrypt/decrypt using ssh keys.

The source for this project is available here.


pyCryptoFile module can be called in command line : python3 pyCryptoFile.py -h

usage: pyCryptoFile.py [-h] [-V] [-f FILE] [-m {encrypt,decrypt}] [-k KEYFILE] [-o OUTPUTFILE]

pyCryptoFile is a python3 program that encrypts, decrypts using ssh key encryption

optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -V, --version Display the version of pyCryptoFile -f FILE, --file FILE file to encrypt/decrypt -m {encrypt,decrypt}, --mode {encrypt,decrypt} encrypt/decrypt mode -k KEYFILE, --keyfile KEYFILE public key file if encrypt mode or private key file if decrypt mode -o OUTPUTFILE, --outputfile OUTPUTFILE outputfile by default it will be the file with .enc or .dec extension

example to encrypt a file content and put in another file :

python3 pyCryptoFile.py -f mytext2.txt -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

it generates by default the same file with .enc extension like mytext2.txt.enc. You can use -o option to generate specific output file

python3 pyCryptoFile.py -f mytext2.txt -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -o myoutput.txt

example to decrypt a file content and put in another file :

python3 pyCryptoFile.py -f mytextcrypted.txt -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa -m decrypt

By default it generates the same file with .dec extension like mytextcrypted.txt.dec. You can specify a specific output file with -o option

python3 pyCryptoFile.py -f mytextcrypted.txt -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa -m decrypt -o myoutput.txt

release notes

1.0.7 fix on pyCryptoFile function wrong tab before return encoded and also fixing the bytes to crypt and encrypt to 128 and 344.

1.0.8 adding new option to have an output file and tested with gifs and pdfs and now it works better.
