Introducing Socket MCP for Claude Desktop
Add secure dependency scanning to Claude Desktop with Socket MCP, a one-click extension that keeps your coding conversations safe from malicious packages.
python-anvil-encryption
Advanced tools
This library is a small wrapper around the pypa/cryptography
library.
It offers convenience methods for encrypting and decrypting arbitrary payloads in both AES and RSA.
For use encrypting / decrypting payloads in Anvil, you can generate an RSA keypair from your organization's settings page.
Anvil provides easy APIs for all things paperwork.
Learn more about Anvil on our Anvil developer page.
Install it directly into an activated virtual environment:
$ pip install python-anvil-encryption
or add it to your Poetry project:
$ poetry add python-anvil-encryption
This usage example is also in a runnable form in the examples/
directory.
import os
from python_anvil_encryption import encryption
CURRENT_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
# Keys could be read from a file (or preferably from environment variables)
public_key = None
private_key = None
with open(os.path.join(CURRENT_PATH, "keys/public.pub"), "rb") as pub_file:
public_key = pub_file.read()
with open(os.path.join(CURRENT_PATH, "./keys/private.pem"), "rb") as priv_file:
private_key = priv_file.read()
# RSA
message = b"Super secret message"
encrypted_message = encryption.encrypt_rsa(public_key, message)
decrypted_message = encryption.decrypt_rsa(private_key, encrypted_message)
assert decrypted_message == message
print(f"Are equal? {decrypted_message == message}")
# AES
aes_key = encryption.generate_aes_key()
aes_encrypted_message = encryption.encrypt_aes(aes_key, message)
# The aes key in the first parameter is required to be in a hex
# byte string format.
decrypted_message = encryption.decrypt_aes(
aes_key.hex().encode(),
aes_encrypted_message
)
assert decrypted_message == message
print(f"Are equal? {decrypted_message == message}")
