Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.

Classes:
rsa(key_size=2048, public_key=None, private_key=None)
Can be fully functional and secure without passing any arguments
Methods:
keygen(self, key_size: int) -> bytes and bytes
Generates Keys for Encryption/Decryption. The 'key_size' will determine the security
and speed of your data (bigger is more secure, but slower)
encrypt(self, data: str or bytes, public_key=None) -> bytes
Only requires a public key if you don't want to use the class generated key
decrypt(self, encrypted_text: bytes, private_key=None) -> str or bytes
Only requires a private key if you don't want to use the class generated key
create_signature(self, data: str, private_key=None) -> bytes and object
Creates a signature for later verifcation that the data hasn't been tampered
with during transport
verify_signature(self, signature: bytes, digest: object, public_key=None) -> bool
Verifies the signature of the data, ensuring the data hasn't been tampered with
generate_password(self, length=64) -> str
Generates a random password to share with the client/server for symmetric cryptography
