Summary

WARNING, HUGE REFACTORING OF THIS LIB WILL SOON OCCUR

This lib gathers utilities to generate and store cryptographic keys, and encrypt/decrypt/sign container, for the WitnessAngel project.

It defines a container format which allows multiple agents (the user’s device as well as trusted-third-parties) to add layers of encryption and signature to the sensitive data.

It also provides utilities for webservices and their error handling, as well as test-helpers so that software using the library may easily check that their own subclasses respect the invariants of this system.

CLI interface

You can play with containers using this command line interface.

beware, unless you provide your own crypto-config, these CLI-generated containers will use a hard-coded and simple cryptographic conf, using only locally-stored keys, so they will be insecure.

$ python -m wacryptolib encrypt -i <data-file> -o <container-file>

$ python -m wacryptolib decrypt -i <container-file> -o <data-file>
