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
Would you mind helping? I am a little lost..

File 'C:(the file location and name but i'm not going to list it).py', line 29
print '%s - (%d)' % (privatekey.exportKey() , len(privatekey.exportKey()))
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

@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.
return (self.key._encrypt(c),) TypeError: argument 1 must be int, not str
I googled and found a bit on b64encode to be imported or encrypt(hash_pass, 32)[0] to include .encode('hex') but to no avail. Can you help?

Hi @anoopsaxena76,

Just change the encryption line as this:
encrypted_msg = encrypt_message(a_message.encode('utf-8'), publickey)

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?
I get the error:

File 'C:/Users/..(don't want to show this bit)/Gavcoin3.py', line 15, in
from crypto.Hash import SHA
File 'C:Users(don't want to show this bit)AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37libsite-packagescryptoHashSHA.py', line 24, in
from Crypto.Hash.SHA1 import doc, new, block_size, digest_size
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Crypto'

Please help!

Hi @GavinAren,

I hope you've already solved your issue but if not:
Look in your python directory for /Lib/site-packages/crypto and change it to Crypto. (Capital C)

PyCrypto is written and tested using Python version 2.1 through 3.3. Python
1.5.2 is not supported. My POC resolves that pycrypto is obsoleted in python3.7. Pycryptodome is working alternative of it, but unfortunately it doesn't support plain RSA cryptography.
