otc 0.1.0

Purpose

This library provides data structures and methods for a basic oblivious transfer (OT) protocol defined in work by Chou and Orlandi. Thanks to the underlying oblivious library, users of this library have the option of relying either on pure Python implementations of cryptographic primitives or on wrappers for libsodium.

Package Installation and Usage

The package is available on PyPI:

python -m pip install otc

The library can be imported in the usual ways:

import otc
from otc import *

Testing and Conventions

All unit tests are executed and their coverage is measured when using nose (see setup.cfg for configution details):

nosetests

Alternatively, all unit tests are included in the module itself and can be executed using doctest:

python otc/otc.py -v

Style conventions are enforced using Pylint:

pylint otc
