Jewels

A simple utility for encrypting/decrypting text files. It can be used for securely using applicative credentials.

Jewels provides:

  • a Command Line tool for user-driven key generation and data encryption
  • a Jewels Class for application-driven file decryption

Encryption is performed using AES256 in EAX Mode.

Installation

> pip install jewels

Usage

Generate a key file to safely store on server:

> jewels-cli keygen /etc/mykey

Encrypt a text file:

> jewels-cli encrypt plaintext [--dest dest-dir] /etc/mykey

Encrypt recursively all text files into a folder:

> jewels-cli encrypt -r src-dir [--dest dest-dir] /etc/mykey

Inside your code, access data from an encrypted file:

from jewels import Jewels

jewel = Jewels('/etc/mykey')

data = jewel.decrypt('filename')
