Encrypting text
To encrypt text in the form of a string or byte-like object, you can use the encrypt() method.
encryptingMyPyPIToken.py
from encryptutils import *
from pathlib import Path
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
myKey = Fernet.generate_key()
myPyPIToken = "pypi-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
encrypt(myPyPIToken, myKey)Decrypting text
To decrypt text, use the decrypt() method
decryptingMyPyPITokenBecauseINeedItNow.py
from encryptutils import *
from pathlib import Path
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
myEncryptedPyPIToken = "niQaqhetJzLHW56cFaDQuG6kcLizYicrdth4xeiruyg=\n\ngAAAAABiw2yHQkEclSVxSyqLuw1EKoAKErh_pLCMKsC2y-udbPm6T5Q96YwONikdPrE6WTf--XS-_qvs3vx95OdbTnATtfNPma0XBesR9O9ftZdnx3leSYhmK2Nq3oP2nB_u3xACfK09y0QmTiHAbA2BlXo-2vnbm-bb5JHZzzMm72jCHw19uuWWQANTbIi38b3VTpt3UHcf1rEu_I-GRA7LXwxQ9Djk4Ueq3mHykTXqs8duM9hK461ZLNr6AoskbCK0On9LDa6ZDoOULjnDmKvC35Ai8e3-zcVM4YHEoxgaRmZbTHhtUM0="
decrypt(myPyPIToken)You may have noticed that you do not need to provide decrypt() with a key. This is because when you encrypt files with encrypt() the method concatenates(adds) the key to the encrypted data. decrypt() splits the key and data apart, and uses the key to decrypt the encrypted data!
Encrypting a file
To encrypt a file, simply import it in a python file or the interactive prompt. Here is an example:
encryptMyPasswords.py
from encryptutils import *
from pathlib import Path
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
myKey = Fernet.generate_key()
myPasswordsPath = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\myPasswords.csv")
encrypt_file(myPasswordsPath, myKey)Decrypting a file
Decrypting a file is more of the same story:
decryptMyPasswordsBecauseIForgotThemOops.py
from encryptutils import *
from pathlib import Path
myForgottenPasswordsPath = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\myPasswords.csv")
decrypt_file(myPasswordsPath)You may have noticed that you do not need to provide decrypt_file() with a key. The reason for this is almost the same as mentioned here.
Encrypting multiple files
Encrypting multiple files is almost the same as encrypting one, with a few minor differences.
encryptingMyPictures.py
from encryptutils import *
from pathlib import Path
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
myKey = Fernet.generate_key()
myPicture1 = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\Pictures\\myPicture1.png")
myPicture2 = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\Pictures\\myPicture2.png")
myPicture3 = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\Pictures\\myPicture3.png")
myPicture4 = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\Pictures\\myPicture4.png")
encrypt_files((myPicture1, myPicture2, myPicture3, myPicture4), myKey)Decrypting multiple files
Decrypting multiple files is almost the same.
decryptingMyPreciousPictures.py
from encryptutils import *
from pathlib import Path
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
myKey = Fernet.generate_key()
myEncryptedPicture1 = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\Pictures\\myPicture1.png")
myEncryptedPicture2 = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\Pictures\\myPicture2.png")
myEncryptedPicture3 = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\Pictures\\myPicture3.png")
myEncryptedPicture4 = Path("C:\\Users\\AfterNoonPM\\Pictures\\myPicture4.png")
decrypt_files((myPicture1, myPicture2, myPicture3, myPicture4))And not including the key still has the same reason as here
