Class for pickling and encrypting data

Project description

EncryptedPickle is Python class for encrypting and signing data with support for versions, serialization, compression, and passphrase generations (rotation).

It’s partly inspired by iron but isn’t compatible with.

Example Usage

from encryptedpickle import encryptedpickle

passphrases = {
    0: 'Change me! CHange me! CHAnge me! CHANge me!'
       'CHANGe me! CHANGE ME! CHANGE Me! CHANGE ME!'
}

data = {'example': 123, 'test': 'testing'}

encoder = encryptedpickle.EncryptedPickle(signature_passphrases=passphrases,
                                          encryption_passphrases=passphrases)

print("* data: %s" % data)

sealed = encoder.seal(data)
print("* sealed: %s" % sealed)

unsealed = encoder.unseal(sealed)
print("* unsealed: %s" % unsealed)

Customization Example

from encryptedpickle import encryptedpickle

# You can use different passphrases for signature and encryption
signature_passphrases = {
    0: 'change me! change me! change me! change me!'
       'change me! change me! change me! change me!'
}

encryption_passphrases = {
    0: 'Change me! CHange me! CHAnge me! CHANge me!'
       'CHANGe me! CHANGE ME! CHANGE Me! CHANGE ME!'
}

data = {'example': 123, 'test': 'testing'}

encoder = encryptedpickle.EncryptedPickle(signature_passphrases,
                                          encryption_passphrases)

encryption = {
    # Add new encryption algorithm specification with id = 255.
    # Default algorithms can not be overridden so we must use some other
    # id, maybe best starting with 255 (maximum id) and decreasing by one
    # for next added algorithm.
    255: {
        # Algorithm name defined in EncryptedPickle.ALGORITHMS.
        'algorithm': 'aes-256-cbc',

        # Salt size for PBKDF2 key.
        'salt_size': 32,

        # Digest mode for PBKDF2 key.
        'pbkdf2_algorithm': 'sha256',

        # Use 10 iterations in PBKDF2 key generation.
        'pbkdf2_iterations': 10,
    },
}
encoder.set_algorithms(encryption=encryption)

options = {
    # Use above defined encryption algorithm (id = 255).
    'encryption_algorithm_id': 255,

    # Use "gzip-deflate" (id = 1) algorithm for compression.
    #
    # Be carefull with this option, because compression is applied before
    # encryption and "Crime" attack is possible if third party can modify
    # data that is encrypted. For more info see:
    #
    # https://www.isecpartners.com/news-events/news/2012/september/details-on-the-crime-attack.aspx
    #
    'compression_algorithm_id': 1,

    # Add timestamp to header (unencrypted).
    'flags': {
        'timestamp': True,
    },
}
encoder.set_options(options)

sealed = encoder.seal(data)
print("* sealed: %s" % sealed)

unsealed, unsealed_options = encoder.unseal(sealed, return_options=True)
print("* unsealed: %s" % unsealed)
if unsealed_options['info']['timestamp']:
    print("* timestamp: %d" % unsealed_options['info']['timestamp'])
