A Python library that encapsulates wolfSSL's wolfCrypt API.
Project description
wolfCrypt Python, a.k.a. wolfcrypt is a Python library that encapsulates wolfSSL’s wolfCrypt API.
wolfCrypt is a lightweight, portable, C-language-based crypto library targeted at IoT, embedded, and RTOS environments primarily because of its size, speed, and feature set. It works seamlessly in desktop, enterprise, and cloud environments as well. It is the crypto engine behind wolfSSl’s embedded ssl library.
Installation
In order to use wolfcrypt, first you’ll need to install wolfssl C embedded ssl library.
Installing wolfssl :
Mac OSX
brew install wolfssl
or
git clone https://github.com/wolfssl/wolfssl.git
cd wolfssl/
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-sha512
make
sudo make install
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git autoconf libtool
git clone https://github.com/wolfssl/wolfssl.git
cd wolfssl/
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-sha512
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
CentOS
sudo rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-6.noarch.rpm
sudo yum update
sudo yum install -y git autoconf libtool
git clone git@github.com:wolfssl/wolfssl.git
cd wolfssl
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-sha512
make
sudo make install
echo /usr/local/lib > wolfssl.conf
sudo mv wolfssl.conf /etc/ld.so.conf
sudo ldconfig
Installing wolfcrypt :
Mac OSX
sudo -H pip install wolfcrypt
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install -y python-dev python3-dev python-pip libffi-dev
sudo -H pip install wolfcrypt
CentOS
sudo yum install -y python-devel python3-devel python-pip libffi-devel
sudo -H pip install wolfcrypt
Testing wolfcrypt :
python -c "from wolfcrypt.hashes import Sha; print Sha().hexdigest()"
expected output: da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
Testing wolfcrypt’s source code with tox :
To run the unit tests in the source code, you’ll need tox and a few other requirements. The source code relies at ‘WOLFSSL_DIR/wrapper/python/wolfcrypt’ where WOLFSSL_DIR is the path of wolfssl’s source code.
Make sure that the testing requirements are installed:
$ sudo -H pip install -r requirements-testing.txt
Run tox:
$ tox
...

py27: commands succeeded
SKIPPED: py34: InterpreterNotFound: python3.4
py35: commands succeeded
congratulations :)
Note: the test is performed using multiple versions of python. If you are missing a version the test will be skipped with an InterpreterNotFound error.
