When it comes to encrypting information with Python, we have some options, but one of the most reliable is the PyCrypto cryptographic library, which supports functions for block-encryption, flow-encryption, and hash-calculation.
The PyCrypto module provides all needed functions for implementing strong cryptography in a Python program, including both hash functions and encryption algorithms.
For example, the block ciphers supported by pycrypto are:
- AES
- ARC2
- Blowfish
- CAST
- DES
- DES3
- IDEA
- RC5
In general, all these ciphers are used in the same way.
We can use the Crypto.Cipher package to import a specific cipher type:
from Crypto.Cipher import [Chiper_Type]
We can use the new method constructor to initialize the cipher: ...
