vixhal 0.0.4

A library designed for secure key-value storage using AES encryption. It provides functionality for generating AES keys, encrypting and decrypting data, and converting between text and bytes. The library is designed for in-memory storage, making it suitable for fast, temporary data handling.

Vixhal

Vixhal is a Python library designed for secure key-value storage using AES encryption. It provides functionality for generating AES keys, encrypting and decrypting data, and converting between text and bytes. The library is designed for in-memory storage, making it suitable for fast, temporary data handling.

Features

Secure AES encryption for key-value pairs. Easy-to-use encryption and decryption functions. In-memory storage for quick access. Suitable for web development, app development, AI, and data science.

Installation

Install the library via pip:

pip install vixhal

Usage

After installing the vixhal library, you can use the following methods:

1. generate_key(): Generates a random 256-bit AES key.

from vixhal import generate_key

key = generate_key()
print(f"Generated Key: {key.hex()}")

2. encrypt_data(data: bytes, key: bytes) -> bytes

Encrypts the given data using AES encryption.

from vixhal import encrypt_data, generate_key

data = b"my secret data"
key = generate_key()
encrypted_data = encrypt_data(data, key)
print(f"Encrypted Data: {encrypted_data}")

3. decrypt_data(encrypted_data: bytes, key: bytes) -> bytes

Decrypts the given AES-encrypted data.

from vixhal import decrypt_data

decrypted_data = decrypt_data(encrypted_data, key)
print(f"Decrypted Data: {decrypted_data}")

4. text_to_bytes(text: str, size: Optional[int] = None) -> bytes

Converts text into bytes.

from vixhal import text_to_bytes

text = "hello world"
byte_data = text_to_bytes(text)
print(f"Byte Data: {byte_data}")

5. bytes_to_text(byte_data: bytes) -> str

Converts bytes back into text, handling non-printable characters.

from vixhal import bytes_to_text

text = bytes_to_text(byte_data)
print(f"Text: {text}")

6. store_entry(key: str, value: str, store: dict) -> None

Stores a key-value pair securely in the provided dictionary using AES encryption.

from vixhal import store_entry

store = {}
store_entry("my_key", "my_value", store)

7. retrieve_entry(key: str, store: dict) -> Optional[str]

Retrieves a value for the given key from the dictionary, decrypting it in the process.

from vixhal import retrieve_entry

retrieved_value = retrieve_entry("my_key", store)
print(f"Retrieved Value: {retrieved_value}")

In-Memory Storage

The Vixhal library stores data in RAM. This provides high performance for temporary data storage in scenarios where fast access is crucial. However, if you require persistent storage, you can extend this system by saving encrypted data to disk or a database.

Where and How to Use

This library can be useful in the following fields:

• Web Development: Store and retrieve encrypted data for secure session management or token storage.

• App Development: Handle local encryption for secure storage of sensitive data in mobile or desktop applications.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI): Securely store and manage sensitive model configurations or parameters.

• Data Science: Protect confidential data or credentials while processing sensitive datasets or performing computations.
