| Demonstrates how to use RSA to protect a key for AES encryption. It can be used in this scenario: You will provide your RSA public key to any number of counterparts. Your counterpart will generate an AES key, encrypt data (or a file) using it, then encrypt the AES key using your RSA public key. Ssh generate dsa key pair number. Your counterpart sends you both the encrypted data and the encrypted key. Since you are the only one with access to the RSA private key, only you can decrypt the AES key. You decrypt the key, then decrypt the data using the AES key. This example will show the entire process. (1) Generate an RSA key and save both private and public parts to PEM files. (2) Encrypt a file using a randomly generated AES encryption key. (3) RSA encrypt the AES key. (4) RSA decrypt the AES key. (5) Use it to AES decrypt the file or data.

I ran this code but got an error. It is python 3.7 running the latest PyCryptodome File 'C:(the file location and name but i'm not going to list it).py', line 29 |

@maxharrison These print statements indicate it was written for python 2. It could be easily fixable by making use of the print function instead of the print statement., however, no guarantees. |

I am trying to learn this stuff. When I run this, I get the following error. |

Hi @anoopsaxena76, Just change the encryption line as this: I just did it myself, it works like a charm |

Hey, I'm trying to run this code on Python 3.7 too. What did you change apart from that print statement to adapt the code to Pycrytodome?
Please help! |
