winhello-crypto 2.1.9

Secure AWS credential storage and file encryption using Windows Hello biometric authentication

WinHello-Crypto

Secure AWS credential storage and file encryption using Windows Hello biometric authentication.

Quick Start

Install

pip install winhello-crypto

AWS Credentials Manager

# Store AWS credentials
aws-hello-creds set myprofile --access-key AKIA... --secret-key secret123

# Use stored credentials  
aws-hello-creds get myprofile

# List all profiles
aws-hello-creds list

# Export as environment variables
aws-hello-creds export myprofile

File Encryption

# Encrypt a file
winhello-crypto encrypt myfile.txt

# Decrypt a file
winhello-crypto decrypt myfile.txt.enc

AWS Credentials Manager Commands

Basic Operations

# Store credentials
aws-hello-creds set <profile> --access-key <key> --secret-key <secret> [--session-token <token>] [--region <region>]

# Retrieve credentials
aws-hello-creds get <profile> [--format json|env|ini]

# List all profiles
aws-hello-creds list [--format table|json]

# Delete credentials
aws-hello-creds delete <profile>

# Check if profile exists
aws-hello-creds exists <profile>

Advanced Operations

# Backup all credentials to encrypted file
aws-hello-creds backup --file backup.enc

# Restore credentials from backup
aws-hello-creds restore --file backup.enc

# Rotate credentials (requires AWS CLI configured)
aws-hello-creds rotate <profile>

# Export as environment variables
aws-hello-creds export <profile> [--shell bash|powershell|cmd]

# Copy profile
aws-hello-creds copy <source> <destination>

# Update existing profile
aws-hello-creds update <profile> [--access-key <key>] [--secret-key <secret>] [--session-token <token>] [--region <region>]

File Operations

# Encrypt file with profile credentials
aws-hello-creds encrypt-file <profile> <input-file> [--output <output-file>]

# Decrypt file with profile credentials
aws-hello-creds decrypt-file <profile> <input-file> [--output <output-file>]

File Encryption Commands

# Encrypt file
winhello-crypto encrypt <input-file> [--output <output-file>]

# Decrypt file
winhello-crypto decrypt <input-file> [--output <output-file>]

# Verify integrity
winhello-crypto verify <encrypted-file>

Use Cases

Development Workflows

# Set up dev environment
aws-hello-creds set dev --access-key AKIA... --secret-key secret123 --region us-west-2
aws-hello-creds export dev --shell powershell

# Switch to production
aws-hello-creds export prod --shell powershell

CI/CD Integration

# Backup before deployment
aws-hello-creds backup --file pre-deploy-backup.enc

# Restore if needed
aws-hello-creds restore --file pre-deploy-backup.enc

Secure File Sharing

# Encrypt sensitive files
winhello-crypto encrypt config.json
winhello-crypto encrypt database-backup.sql

# Share encrypted files safely
# Recipients need Windows Hello to decrypt

Security Features

• Windows Hello Integration: Uses biometric authentication (fingerprint, face, PIN)
• AES-256-GCM Encryption: Military-grade encryption for stored credentials
• No Plain Text Storage: All credentials encrypted at rest
• Secure Key Derivation: PBKDF2 with high iteration count
• Memory Protection: Sensitive data cleared from memory after use

Requirements

• Windows 10/11 with Windows Hello enabled
• Python 3.7+
• Biometric device (fingerprint reader, camera) or PIN set up

Troubleshooting

Windows Hello Not Available

Error: Windows Hello is not available on this device

Solution: Enable Windows Hello in Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options

Authentication Failed

Error: User verification failed

Solution:

• Ensure biometric device is working
• Try using PIN if biometric fails
• Check Windows Hello is enabled for apps

Profile Not Found

Error: Profile 'myprofile' not found

Solution: Use aws-hello-creds list to see available profiles

Permission Denied

Error: Access denied to Windows Credential Manager

Solution: Run as administrator or check Windows Credential Manager permissions
