ECDH-ES+A128KW crypto provider for Swarmauri

swarmauri_crypto_ecdh_es_a128kw

ECDH-ES+A128KW key wrapping provider for Swarmauri.

Highlights

• Implements the JSON Web Encryption ECDH-ES key agreement combined with AES Key Wrap using a 128-bit KEK (ECDH-ES+A128KW).
• Accepts KeyRef objects whose public attribute carries an EC public key in PEM format for wrapping and whose material attribute provides the corresponding private key for unwrapping.
• Derives a one-time key-encryption key via Concat KDF with SHA-256 and serializes results as JSON containing the ephemeral public key (epk) and wrapped DEK (kw), both Base64URL encoded.
• Generates a fresh 16-byte DEK when one is not provided so you can delegate symmetric key generation to the provider.

Installation

Choose the tool that matches your workflow:

# pip
pip install swarmauri_crypto_ecdh_es_a128kw

# Poetry
poetry add swarmauri_crypto_ecdh_es_a128kw

# uv
uv add swarmauri_crypto_ecdh_es_a128kw

Quickstart

The example below creates a recipient EC key pair, wraps a deterministic 128-bit DEK, and then unwraps it again to demonstrate the round trip. Run it with python quickstart.py or paste it into a REPL.

import asyncio
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import serialization
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import ec

from swarmauri_core.crypto.types import ExportPolicy, KeyRef, KeyType, KeyUse
from swarmauri_crypto_ecdh_es_a128kw import ECDHESA128KWCrypto


def make_recipient_key() -> KeyRef:
    private_key = ec.generate_private_key(ec.SECP256R1())
    public_key = private_key.public_key()

    return KeyRef(
        kid="recipient-key",
        version=1,
        type=KeyType.EC,
        uses=(KeyUse.WRAP, KeyUse.UNWRAP),
        export_policy=ExportPolicy.SECRET_WHEN_ALLOWED,
        material=private_key.private_bytes(
            encoding=serialization.Encoding.PEM,
            format=serialization.PrivateFormat.PKCS8,
            encryption_algorithm=serialization.NoEncryption(),
        ),
        public=public_key.public_bytes(
            encoding=serialization.Encoding.PEM,
            format=serialization.PublicFormat.SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
        ),
    )


async def main() -> None:
    crypto = ECDHESA128KWCrypto()
    recipient = make_recipient_key()
    dek = b"0123456789ABCDEF"  # 16 byte content encryption key

    wrapped = await crypto.wrap(recipient, dek=dek)
    recovered = await crypto.unwrap(recipient, wrapped)

    print("Wrapped payload:", wrapped.wrapped.decode("utf-8"))
    assert recovered == dek


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

What to expect

• wrap derives an ephemeral ECDH shared secret with the recipient public key, hashes it with Concat KDF (SHA-256) to produce a 128-bit KEK, and AES-KW wraps the provided DEK.
• The returned WrappedKey stores a JSON document containing the ephemeral public key (epk) and the wrapped DEK (kw), both Base64URL encoded.
• unwrap repeats the derivation using the recipient private key (KeyRef.material) and returns the original DEK bytes.
