monocypher-py¶
monocypher-py provides both high-level APIs (similar to PyNaCl)
and low-level bindings to the Monocypher library.
Monocypher is a small, fast, easy to deploy, and easy to use cryptography library.
It supports Python 3.5+ (including PyPy). Examples:
>>> # high-level api
>>> from monocypher.public import PrivateKey, Box
>>> sk_a = PrivateKey.generate()
>>> sk_b = PrivateKey.generate()
>>> box = Box(sk_a, sk_b.public_key)
>>> box.encrypt(b'hello world!')
b'\xdbZn...'
>>> # low-level api
>>> import monocypher.bindings as mc
>>> sk_a_bytes = sk_a.encode()
>>> pk_b_bytes = sk_b.public_key.encode()
>>> shared_key = mc.crypto_key_exchange(sk_a_bytes, pk_b_bytes)
>>> box.shared_key() == shared_key
True
Installation¶
monocypher-py bundles Monocypher 3.1.1 along with the source.
