RSA encryption and decryption in Python

Question

I need help using RSA encryption and decryption in Python.

I am creating a private/public key pair, encrypting a message with keys and writing message to a file. Th

Answer 1

PKCS#1 OAEP is an asymmetric cipher based on RSA and the OAEP padding

from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
from Crypto import Random
from Crypto.Cipher import PKCS1_OAEP


def rsa_encrypt_decrypt():
    key = RSA.generate(2048)
    private_key = key.export_key('PEM')
    public_key = key.publickey().exportKey('PEM')
    message = input('plain text for RSA encryption and decryption:')
    message = str.encode(message)

    rsa_public_key = RSA.importKey(public_key)
    rsa_public_key = PKCS1_OAEP.new(rsa_public_key)
    encrypted_text = rsa_public_key.encrypt(message)
    #encrypted_text = b64encode(encrypted_text)

    print('your encrypted_text is : {}'.format(encrypted_text))


    rsa_private_key = RSA.importKey(private_key)
    rsa_private_key = PKCS1_OAEP.new(rsa_private_key)
    decrypted_text = rsa_private_key.decrypt(encrypted_text)

    print('your decrypted_text is : {}'.format(decrypted_text))

You can use simple way for genarate RSA . Use rsa library

pip install rsa

# coding: utf-8
from __future__ import unicode_literals

import os

import six
from Crypto import Random
from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA


class PublicKeyFileExists(Exception): pass


class RSAEncryption(object):
    PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_PATH = None
    PUBLIC_KEY_FILE_PATH = None

    def encrypt(self, message):
        public_key = self._get_public_key()
        public_key_object = RSA.importKey(public_key)
        random_phrase = 'M'
        encrypted_message = public_key_object.encrypt(self._to_format_for_encrypt(message), random_phrase)[0]
        # use base64 for save encrypted_message in database without problems with encoding
        return base64.b64encode(encrypted_message)

    def decrypt(self, encoded_encrypted_message):
        encrypted_message = base64.b64decode(encoded_encrypted_message)
        private_key = self._get_private_key()
        private_key_object = RSA.importKey(private_key)
        decrypted_message = private_key_object.decrypt(encrypted_message)
        return six.text_type(decrypted_message, encoding='utf8')

    def generate_keys(self):
        """Be careful rewrite your keys"""
        random_generator = Random.new().read
        key = RSA.generate(1024, random_generator)
        private, public = key.exportKey(), key.publickey().exportKey()

        if os.path.isfile(self.PUBLIC_KEY_FILE_PATH):
            raise PublicKeyFileExists('Файл с публичным ключом существует. Удалите ключ')
        self.create_directories()

        with open(self.PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_PATH, 'w') as private_file:
            private_file.write(private)
        with open(self.PUBLIC_KEY_FILE_PATH, 'w') as public_file:
            public_file.write(public)
        return private, public

    def create_directories(self, for_private_key=True):
        public_key_path = self.PUBLIC_KEY_FILE_PATH.rsplit('/', 1)
        if not os.path.exists(public_key_path):
            os.makedirs(public_key_path)
        if for_private_key:
            private_key_path = self.PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_PATH.rsplit('/', 1)
            if not os.path.exists(private_key_path):

    def _get_public_key(self):
        """run generate_keys() before get keys """
        with open(self.PUBLIC_KEY_FILE_PATH, 'r') as _file:
            return _file.read()

    def _get_private_key(self):

    def _to_format_for_encrypt(value):
        if isinstance(value, int):
            return six.binary_type(value)
        for str_type in six.string_types:
            if isinstance(value, str_type):
                return value.encode('utf8')
        if isinstance(value, six.binary_type):
            return value

And use

KEYS_DIRECTORY = settings.SURVEY_DIR_WITH_ENCRYPTED_KEYS

class TestingEncryption(RSAEncryption):
    PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_PATH = KEYS_DIRECTORY + 'private.key'
    PUBLIC_KEY_FILE_PATH = KEYS_DIRECTORY + 'public.key'


# django/flask
from django.core.files import File

class ProductionEncryption(RSAEncryption):
    PUBLIC_KEY_FILE_PATH = settings.SURVEY_DIR_WITH_ENCRYPTED_KEYS + 'public.key'

    def _get_private_key(self):
        """run generate_keys() before get keys """
        from corportal.utils import global_elements
        private_key = global_elements.request.FILES.get('private_key')
        if private_key:
            private_key_file = File(private_key)
            return private_key_file.read()

message = 'Hello мой friend'
encrypted_mes = ProductionEncryption().encrypt(message)
decrypted_mes = ProductionEncryption().decrypt(message)

Here is my implementation for python 3 and pycrypto

from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
key = RSA.generate(4096)
f = open('/home/john/Desktop/my_rsa_public.pem', 'wb')
f.write(key.publickey().exportKey('PEM'))
f.close()
f = open('/home/john/Desktop/my_rsa_private.pem', 'wb')
f.write(key.exportKey('PEM'))
f.close()

f = open('/home/john/Desktop/my_rsa_public.pem', 'rb')
f1 = open('/home/john/Desktop/my_rsa_private.pem', 'rb')
key = RSA.importKey(f.read())
key1 = RSA.importKey(f1.read())

x = key.encrypt(b"ffffdffffd",32)

print(x)
z = key1.decrypt(x)
print(z)

Answer 5

In order to make it work you need to convert key from str to tuple before decryption(ast.literal_eval function). Here is fixed code:

import Crypto
from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
from Crypto import Random
import ast

random_generator = Random.new().read
key = RSA.generate(1024, random_generator) #generate pub and priv key

publickey = key.publickey() # pub key export for exchange

encrypted = publickey.encrypt('encrypt this message', 32)
#message to encrypt is in the above line 'encrypt this message'

print 'encrypted message:', encrypted #ciphertext
f = open ('encryption.txt', 'w')
f.write(str(encrypted)) #write ciphertext to file
f.close()

#decrypted code below

f = open('encryption.txt', 'r')
message = f.read()


decrypted = key.decrypt(ast.literal_eval(str(encrypted)))

print 'decrypted', decrypted

f = open ('encryption.txt', 'w')
f.write(str(message))
f.write(str(decrypted))
f.close()

Watch out using Crypto!!! It is a wonderful library but it has an issue in python3.8 'cause from the library time was removed the attribute clock(). To fix it just modify the source in /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/Crypto/Random/_UserFriendlyRNG.pyline 77 changing t = time.clock() int t = time.perf_counter()
