using crypto++ on iphone sdk with pycrypto on app engine

- by Joey

Hi, I'm trying to encrypt http requests using crypto++ and decrypt them with pycrypto on the app engine server end. Using Arc4 encryption, I can successfully encrypt and decrypt on the iphone end but when I try decrypting on app engine, the result is garbled. I thought maybe it has something to do with the encoding of the NSString but am not certain. It's not clear to me if I need to call encode() on the cipher on the server end before decrypting, although that does seem to resolve a failure to decrypt involving ascii values. I have a separate post that delves a bit into this. Can anyone offer some advice? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2794942/crypto-pycrypto-with-google-app-engine

Import problem with PyCrypto in Jython

- by Arg

Hello, I am currently trying to get python bittorrent tracker running inside of jython and i encountered this problem: the tracker uses PyCrypto library which i compiled for my platform and added into the python path. When i try to run code, however, i get following error: Exception in thread "MainThread" Traceback (most recent call last): File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/bittorrent-tracker.py", line 21, in <module> from BitTorrent.track import track File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/track.py", line 50, in <module> from BitTorrent.UI import Size File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/UI.py", line 37, in <module> from BitTorrent.MultiTorrent import UnknownInfohash, TorrentAlreadyInQueue, TorrentAlreadyRunning, TorrentNotRunning File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/MultiTorrent.py", line 25, in <module> from BitTorrent.Torrent import Feedback, Torrent File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/Torrent.py", line 32, in <module> from BitTorrent.ConnectionManager import ConnectionManager File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/ConnectionManager.py", line 22, in <module> from BitTorrent.Connector import Connector File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/Connector.py", line 27, in <module> from Crypto.Cipher import ARC4 ImportError: cannot import name ARC4 Java Result: 1 I am pretty sure that the library is in the python path, because command import Crypto.Cipher works, while from Crypto.Cipher import ARC4 does not. The java code i run looks like this: package jythTest; import org.python.util.PythonInterpreter; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { PythonInterpreter pythonInterpreter = new PythonInterpreter(); pythonInterpreter.exec("import sys"); pythonInterpreter.exec("sys.path.append(\"./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/\")"); pythonInterpreter.exec("sys.path.append(\"./python_dep/Twisted-10.0.0/\")"); pythonInterpreter.exec("sys.path.append(\"./python_dep/Zope-3.4.0/build/lib.linux-i686-2.6\")"); pythonInterpreter.exec("sys.path.append(\"./python_dep\")"); pythonInterpreter.exec("sys.path.append(\"./python_dep/pycrypto-2.0.1/build/lib.linux-i686-2.6\")"); pythonInterpreter.exec("sys.path.append(\"import Crypto.Cipher\")"); //pythonInterpreter.exec("print sys.path"); pythonInterpreter.execfile("./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/bittorrent-tracker.py"); } } Thanks in advance to anyone who could provide any kind of help.

AES Encryption. From Python (pyCrypto) to .NET

- by Why

I am currently trying to port a legacy Python app over to .NET which contains AES encrpytion using from what I can tell pyCrpyto. I have very limited Python and Crypto experience. The code uses the snippet from the following page. http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1095/ So far I believe I have managed to work out that it that it calls Crypto.Cipher with AES and the first 32 character of our secret key as the password, but no mode or IV. It also puts a prefix on the encrpyed text when it is added to database. What I can't work out is how I can decrypt the existing ecrypted database records in .NET. I have been looking at RijndaelManaged but it requires an IV and can't see any reference to one in python. Can anyone point me in the dirrection to what method could be used in .NET to get the desired result.

PyCrypto and GMP library not found error [Mac OS 10.6.3]

- by sarasota

I'm trying to install pycrypto-2.1.0 but attempt to do with 'python setup.py build' elicits: running build running build_py running build_ext warning: GMP library not found; Not building Crypto.PublicKey._fastmath. I installed GMP (gmp-4.3.2) and it's in: /usr/local/lib How do I get python/pycrypto to recognize that GMP is already present on my system? Mac OS: 10.6.3 Python version: 2.6.1

crypto++ / pycrypto with google app engine

- by Joey

Hi, I am using crypto++ to send AES encrypted http requests to app engine, planning to decrypt them there. My plan is to encrypt the portion after the '?' so it's something like: http://myurl.com/Command?eiwjfsdlfjldkjfs when it is encrypted. However, I'm stuck figuring out how to decrypt it at the other end and still user get() on the response to get the args. Can someone advise if I am taking the wrong approach? Should I be decrypting and not using get() but my own parser then?

Where is Python support for PEM + RSA + DES3?

- by jasonjs

I need a Python library that supports PEM files and both RSA signing and DES3 encryption. pycrypto doesn't seem to support PEM, and its mechanism for loading existing keys is undocumented and cryptic. m2crypto doesn't seem to support DES/DES3, oddly. I've been running an openssl subprocess, but I'd rather have something built in and preferably fast. Does this exist? (Failing that, I hesitate to ask, but are there high-level enough C apis available for this that I could write a special-purpose extension without killing myself/introducing vulns?)

installing paramiko

- by fixxxer

This may sound like a repeated question on SF, but I could not find a clear answer to it, yet.So. I installed Paramiko 1.7 with "setup.py install" command and while running the demo.py program, I got this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\fixavier\Desktop\paramiko-1.7\demos\demo.py", line 33, in <module> import paramiko File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\paramiko\__init__.py", line 69, in <module> from transport import randpool, SecurityOptions, Transport File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\paramiko\transport.py", line 32, in <module> from paramiko import util File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\paramiko\util.py", line 31, in <module> from paramiko.common import * File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\paramiko\common.py", line 99, in <module> from Crypto.Util.randpool import PersistentRandomPool, RandomPool ImportError: No module named Crypto.Util.randpool I'm getting this error even after installing PyCrypto 2.1. On running test.py(which comes with the installation), I got the following error - Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\fixavier\Desktop\pycrypto-2.0.1\pycrypto-2.0.1\test.py", line 18, in <module> from Crypto.Util import test File "C:\Documents and Settings\fixavier\Desktop\pycrypto-2.0.1\pycrypto-2.0.1\build/lib.win32-2.6\Crypto\Util\test.py", line 17, in <module> import testdata File "C:\Documents and Settings\fixavier\Desktop\pycrypto-2.0.1\pycrypto-2.0.1\test\testdata.py", line 450, in <module> from Crypto.Cipher import AES ImportError: cannot import name AES I don't have the confidence to go ahead and install AES after all this, for all I know I may get another ImportError! Please advice.Is it the way of installation thats problematic?

File encyption with Python

- by Pinkie

Is there a way to encrypt files (.zip, .doc, .exe, ... any type of file) with Python? I've looked at a bunch of crypto libraries for Python including pycrypto and ezpycrypto but as far as I see they only offer string encryption.

lightweight cryptography toolkit(s) for c++ and python

- by Joey

Hi, I'm looking to do some basic encryption of server messages which'd be encrypted with C++ and decrypted using Python serverside. I was wondering if anyone knew if there were good solutions that were simpler or more lightweight than Keyczar. I see that supports both C++ and python, but would using Crypto++ and PyCrypto be simpler for a newbie that just wants to get something up and running for the time being? Or should I use Keyczar for python and Crypto++ for the C++ end? The C++ libraries seem to have dependencies to hundreds of files.

Activate a python virtual environment using activate_this.py in a fabfile on Windows

- by Rudy Lattae

I have a Fabric task that needs to access the settings of my Django project. On Windows, I'm unable to install Fabric into the project's virtualenv (issues with Paramiko + pycrypto deps). However, I am able to install Fabric in my system-wide site-packages, no problem. I have installed Django into the project's virtualenv and I am able to use all the " python manage.py" commands easily when I activate the virtualenv with the "VIRTUALENV\Scripts\activate.bat" script. I have a fabric tasks file (fabfile.py) in my project that provides tasks for setup, test, deploy, etc. Some of the tasks in my fabfile need to access the settings of my django project through "from django.conf import settings". Since the only usable Fabric install I have is in my system-wide site-packages, I need to activate the virtualenv within my fabfile so django becomes available. To do this, I use the "activate_this" module of the project's virtualenv in order to have access to the project settings and such. Using "print sys.path" before and after I execute activate_this.py, I can tell the python path changes to point to the virtualenv for the project. However, I still cannot import django.conf.settings. I have been able to successfully do this on *nix (Ubuntu and CentOS) and in Cygwin. Do you use this setup/workflow on Windows? If so Can you help me figure out why this wont work on Windows or provide any tips and tricks to get around this issue? Thanks and Cheers.
