What

pylufic is a command line tool which allow to interact with Let's Upload File (Lufi) instances, that is to download and upload client-side encrypted files.

Why

Lufi is a web-application allowing client-side encrypted file transfers between users. Hence you don't have to trust the service provider to protect your data.

However Lufi works in a web browser, like Firefox or Chormium. When you don't want to run a full-featured graphical web browser on your machine to use it, you need a command line.

pylufic is a python implementation of a Lufi CLI, useful for those who already have Python in their environments.

How

pylufic use the same software libraries as the Javascript version - websocket client and Standford Javascript Cryptography Library (SJCL) - but in their python implementations.
