In this article, we would discuss how to encrypt and decrypt files using Python. We would take a file name as input, encrypt it and store it in an output file. Also, we would generate a secret key securely and store the secret key in a file. Later, we would read that...
We can use Fernet from the cryptography module in Python to encrypt and decrypt data securely. The Fernet module uses a symmetric-key encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data. So, if we use a secret key to encrypt plaintext, we would need to use the same...
bcrypt is a password hash function using which one can hash passwords. The bcrypt algorithm is based on Blowfish cipher and it incorporates a salt while hashing a password. Moreover, bcrypt is an adaptive function. It uses several iterations while hashing a password....
If we are using a block cipher, then we should select one block cipher mode of operation. These block cipher modes of operation provide better security. In a block cipher, the input plaintext is divided into several equal-sized blocks and the last block is padded....
There are a number of Python modules using which we can perform AES encryption and decryption. But, in this article, we would try to implement the AES algorithm in a very simple and easy-to-understand way. AES is a block cipher. The input plaintext is divided into...
