Mistyfy¶
A package that helps encrypt any given string and returns an encrypted version of it. This package is very pythonic and has no dependencies. You can expand on it but it gives you the ability to encrypt data in a way only you can understand or decrypt.
Install¶
Install using pip. You have to be on python >= 3.6.x in order to utilize this script.
Download python and install on your device by visiting python.org
Run the below command either using a virtual environment or from your python alias
pip install mistyfy
OR
python3 -m pip install mistyfy
How to use it¶
from mistyfy import encode, decode, ciphers, generator
import os
# ciphers is a dictionary containing ascii or utf-8 characters, you can change this at will
# use the generator function to create your own unique cipher
gn = generator(ciphers, -400, 138192812) # first arg is the cipher block,
# second & third arg is the start and stop counter
secret = b'somesecretkey' # create any secret key, easier if you use os.urandom(n)
# secret = os.urandom(16)
a = "This is a secret message or password"
b = encode(a, secret, gn)
# output is a dictionary which contains a signed value when decrypting:
# eyJtaXN0eWZ5IjogWzQ5Nxxxxxx...
c = decode(b, secret, gn)
# Output:
# This is a secret message or password
# Output: if the secret is wrong
# Failure decrypting data
Use cases¶
Safely store a password or token, validate that it is signed before it can be decoded.
Transmit a large set of encrypted strings.
Create your own cipher block and be the only one who can decrypt it.
There are other part of the script you can use. To easily create a password checking system use signs and verify_signs function, this takes a similar example given by python doc for hashlib but with the ability to add a secret.
from mistyfy import signs, verify_signs
secrets = 'someimportstuff'
password = 'myverypassword'
encrypt_decrypt = signs(password, secret=secrets)
print(encrypt_decrypt)
# cfe13a4eef4e9c9ccbedf4ec05873ed0
# verify takes into two arguments and 1 required keyword arg to compare if their hashes are the same
# in this situation, the signed data and the actual outcome.
verify = verify_signs(password, encrypt_decrypt, secret=secrets)
if verify is True:
print('User is valid')
else:
print('User is not valid')
# Output
# User is valid
