python-camellia 1.0

Description:

pythoncamellia 1.0

This is a cryptographic library implementing the camellia cipher in python.
API-reference
>>> import camellia
>>> plain = b"This is a text. "
>>> c1 = camellia.CamelliaCipher(key=b'16 byte long key', IV=b'16 byte iv. abcd', mode=camellia.MODE_CBC)
>>> encrypted = c1.encrypt(plain)
>>> c2 = camellia.CamelliaCipher(key=b'16 byte long key', IV=b'16 byte iv. abcd', mode=camellia.MODE_CBC)
>>> c2.decrypt(encrypted)
b'This is a text. '

Features
Because it’s build direct on top of the reference implementation, the python-camellia library provides direct
access to extreme low-level functions like Camellia-Ekeygen but also provides a nearly PEP-272-compliant
cryptographic interface. This semi low-level interface supports encryption (and decryption) in ECB,
CBC, CFB, OFB and CTR modes of operation.


Installation
Install with pip:
$ pip install python-camellia

Changelog

Version 1.0:

The “normal” camellia version is used instead of the mini or reference version.
Camellia is now loaded using CFFI. This improves speed and avoids shipped DLLs. It’s better than the self-made-on-first-use compilation,
which
Supports all standart modes of operation (ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB, CTR)
Electronic code book mode of operation is not implicit default anymore.
Now camellia.Camellia_Ekeygen returns a list instead of an CFFI array.
