ucryptolib -- cryptographic ciphers

ucryptolib

Classes

__init__(key, mode, [IV])

Initialize cipher object, suitable for encryption/decryption. Note: after initialization, cipher object can be use only either for encryption or decryption. Running decrypt() operation after encrypt() or vice versa is not supported.

Parameters are:

• key is an encryption/decryption key (bytes-like).

• mode is:

  • 1 (or ucryptolib.MODE_ECB if it exists) for Electronic Code Book (ECB).
  • 2 (or ucryptolib.MODE_CBC if it exists) for Cipher Block Chaining (CBC).
  • 6 (or ucryptolib.MODE_CTR if it exists) for Counter mode (CTR).

• IV is an initialization vector for CBC mode.

• For Counter mode, IV is the initial value for the counter.

encrypt(in_buf, [out_buf])

Encrypt in_buf. If no out_buf is given result is returned as a newly allocated bytes object. Otherwise, result is written into mutable buffer out_buf. in_buf and out_buf can also refer to the same mutable buffer, in which case data is encrypted in-place.

decrypt(in_buf, [out_buf])

Like encrypt(), but for decryption.
