pyAES

AES algorithm with pure python implementation. Small modify based on https://bitbucket.org/intgr/pyaes/ to compatible with PEP-8.

Intro

an implementation of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cipher in pure Python, including ECB & CBC modes.

  • easy to use: it has a simple PEP 272 cipher API, like PyCrypto
  • not too slow: it's as fast as Python permits without obfuscating the code
  • well-tested: it includes a test runner to check the operation against NIST published test vectors
  • raw cipher only: it does not do padding/verification/key derivation -- any secure crypto protocol should
  • liberal: Licensed under the permissive MIT license

How to use?

>>> import pyaes
>>> cryptor = pyaes.new('secret_secretkey', pyaes.MODE_CBC, IV='_some_random_iv_')
>>> ciphertext = cryptor.encrypt('This is a test! What could possibly go wrong?___')
>>> ciphertext
'S8\n\x81\xee3\x86\xd6\t\xf8\xc6\xde~\xdc\x14H#\xd2\xe1\xda\xd79\x81\xb7'
'>\xdd\xed\xaa\xed\xcfp\xee\xc6\x8f(\xdc\xb1A"\xe9[\x9f{\x8e\xa6F\xfbQ'
>>> decryptor = pyaes.new('secret_secretkey', pyaes.MODE_CBC, IV='_some_random_iv_')
>>> decryptor.decrypt(ciphertext)
'This is a test! What could possibly go wrong?___'

Speed

Even though pyaes is an optimized Python implementation, Python itself is still slow. It should be capable of around 80 kB/s on modern hardware; that's 1000x slower than pure C implementations.

This is a test in My Macbook Air(CPython and PyPy):

Why pyAES

Some app engine environment don't allow to upload package with C implementation and don't supply a workable C ext wrapper. So in this situation, I just need pure python implementation.

This module also can use in PyPy environment.

In other case, just use C implementation plz.
