Pyhton Key Generation Using Aes265 In Ctr Mode

 

I've implemented CTR mode by myself (only decryption for now), using only AES built-in functions from pycrypto. It means that I'm not supposed to use mode=AES.MODECTR. However, I know that using AES.

  1. Nov 09, 2017  Questions: I’m trying to build two functions using PyCrypto that accept two parameters: the message and the key, and then encrypt/decrypt the message. I found several links on the web to help me out, but each one of them has flaws: This one at codekoala uses os.urandom, which is discouraged by PyCrypto. Moreover, the key.
  2. Using Python for Encryption Dic 04, 2018. MODECFB, MODEPGP, MODEOFB, MODECTR, and MODEOPENPGP. If the MODECBC or MODECFB modes are used, the third parameter (Vector IV) must be initialized, which allows an initial value to be given to the cipher. For generating the key, you can use the generatekey.
  3. Mar 08, 2011  Convergent encryptions uses the cryptographic hash of the plaintext as the encryption key so that identical plaintexts always encrypt to identical ciphertext values as it always identical encryption keys. This implementation uses SHA256d as a cryptographic hash function and AES-256 in Counter (CTR) mode as a block cipher.
  4. Jun 25, 2010  AES encryption of files in Python with PyCrypto. It expects your key to be either 16, 24 or 32 bytes long (for AES-128, AES-196 and AES-256, respectively). The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. In this case I recommend picking a password and then using the SHA-256 digest algorithm from hashlib to generate a 32-byte key from.

Basic but pure DES implementation in PythonI have written it for fun because nothing else.

How it works ?

Everything is made within a class called 'des'. This class can be instanciated once and used to cipher and decipher multiple datas.It also support padding using the PKCS5 specification. (So the data is padding even if it is multiple of 8 to be sure that the last byte il be padding data).The generation of all the keys used is made in the method generatekeys and substitute apply the SBOX permutation.The main method is run which is called by both encrypt and decrypt but in a different mode. This method do basically all the stuff, it loopthrought all the blocks and for each do the 16th rounds.

Be careful: This module implement DES in ECB mode, so you can't make it weaker. I didn't made it to be strong but for fun.

How to use it ?

I have not done any interface to take argument in command line so this module can't be used as a script. (feel free to modify it).To use it from python shell or in another module do:

Mode

Note: In this exemple no padding is specified so you have to provide a text which is multiple of 8 bytes. The key is cut to 8 bytes if longer.

To use padding:

This is an exercise in secure symmetric-key encryption, implemented in purePython (only built-in libraries used), expanded from Bo Zhu's (http://about.bozhu.me)AES-128 implementation at https://github.com/bozhu/AES-Python

  • AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 implementations in pure python (very slow, butworks).Results have been tested against the NIST standard (http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips197/fips-197.pdf)
  • CBC mode for AES with PKCS#7 padding (now also PCBC, CFB, OFB and CTR thanks to @righthandabacus!)
  • encrypt and decrypt functions for protecting arbitrary data with apassword

Note: this implementation is not resistant to side channel attacks.

Although this is an exercise, the encrypt and decrypt functions shouldprovide reasonable security to encrypted messages. It ensures the data iskept secret (using AES), blocks are encrypted together (CBC), the samemessage encrypted twice will have different ciphertexts (salt), the ciphertexthasn't been tampered with (HMAC) and the key has some defense against brute-force(PBKDF2).

The algorithm is as follows:

  1. 16 random bytes of salt are extracted from the system's secure random numbergenerator (usually /dev/urandom)>

  2. The given master key is stretched and expanded by PKBDF2-HMAC(SHA256) usingthe salt from 1), to generate the AES key, HMAC key and IV (initializationvector for CBC).

  3. The given message is encrypted with AES-128 using the AES key and IV fromstep 2), in CBC mode and PKCS#7 padding.

  4. A HMAC-SHA256 is generated from the concatenation of the salt from 1) andthe ciphertext from 3).

  5. The final ciphertext is HMAC + salt + ciphertext.

Security overview:

Aes 256 Encryption Software

  • The random salt ensures the same message will map to different ciphertexts.

  • The HMAC ensures the integrity of both the entire ciphertext and the PKBDF2salt; encrypt-then-mac prevents attacks like Padding Oracle.

  • Bytes from keys, iv and salt are not reused in different algorithms.

  • PBKDF2 key stretching allows for relatively weak passwords to be used as AESkeys and be moderately resistant to brute-force, but sacrificing performance.
