A Python wrapper for the libmceliece microlibrary
Project description
pymceliece
A Python wrapper for the libmceliece microlibrary
Installation
Dependencies
pymceliece depends only on libmceliece (which also depends on libcpucycles and librandombytes), available here
API
Instantiated parameters
The API follows the libmceliece API. It implements the following parameter sets:
- mceliece8192128
- mceliece6960119
- mceliece6688128
- mceliece8192128
- mceliece460896
- mceliece348864
- mceliece6960119f
- mceliece6688128f
- mceliece8192128f
- mceliece460896f
- mceliece348864f
Each has the following constants defined:
- mceliecexxxxxxx.PUBLICKEYBYTES Length of the public key
- mceliecexxxxxxx.SECRETKEYBYTES Length of the private key
- mceliecexxxxxxx.CIPHERTEXTBYTES Length of the ciphertext
- mceliecexxxxxxx.BYTES Length of the session key
Usage
For each instantiation the following functions are available:
mcelieceXXXXXXX.keypair() -> Tuple[bytes, bytes]
Randomly generates a McEliece secret key and its corresponding public key.
Example:
>>> from pymceliece import mceliece6960119
>>> pk, sk = mceliece6960119.keypair()
mcelieceXXXXXXX.enc(pk: bytes) -> Tuple[bytes, bytes]
Randomly generates a ciphertext and the corresponding session key given a public key pk.
Example:
>>> from pymceliece import mceliece8192128f
>>> pk, _ = mceliece8192128f.keypair()
>>> c, k = mceliece8192128f.enc(pk)
mcelieceXXXXXXX.dec(c: bytes, pk: bytes) -> bytes
Given a McEliece secret key sk and a ciphertext c encapsulated to sk's corresponding public key pk, computes the session key k.
Example:
>>> from pymceliece import mceliece348864f
>>> pk, sk = mceliece348864f.keypair()
>>> c, k = mceliece348864f.enc(pk)
>>> mceliece348864f.dec(c, sk) == k
True
