sesame 0.2.0

Cryptography

Sesame leans on a little known project called keyczar, which was originally built by members of the Google Security Team.

Keyczar in turn builds upon pycrypto, and aims to provide sane defaults for your crypto.

Installation

To install sesame, simply:

$ pip install sesame

Usage

The interface to Sesame is intended to be as simple as possible. There are only two commands: encrypt and decrypt and each of these has only two parameters available: config and keyfile.

When calling encrypt the keyfile parameter is optional - if you do not supply it, Sesame will prompt you to generate a new key.

$ sesame -h
usage: sesame encrypt [-h] -c CONFIG [-k KEYFILE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        Path to your app config
  -k KEYFILE, --keyfile KEYFILE
                        Path to keyczar encryption key

Flask Bindings

When using Flask-Script you can benefit from (almost) automatic integration:

# create your Flask app and Flask-Script manager as usual
app = Flask("test")
manager = Manager(app)

# include the sesame manager
from sesame.flask.script import manager as sesame_manager
manager.add_command("sesame", sesame_manager)

Then sesame’s encrypt/decrypt commands are available via your manage script:

$ ./manage.py sesame
Please provide a command:
Encrypt/decrypt Flask application config
    decrypt  Decrypt a config file
    encrypt  Encrypt a config file
