# Author: OMKAR PATHAK # This program illustrates a simple Python encryption example using the RSA Algotrithm # RSA is an algorithm used by modern computers to encrypt and decrypt messages. It is an asymmetric # cryptographic algorithm. Asymmetric means that there are two different keys (public and private). # For installation: sudo pip3 install pycrypto from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA from Crypto import Random randomGenerator = Random.new().read # Generating a private key and a public key # key stores both the keys key = RSA.generate(1024, randomGenerator) # 1024 is the size of the key in bits print(key) # Prints private key print(key.publickey()) # Prints public key # Encryption using Public Key publicKey = key.publickey() encryptedData = publicKey.encrypt('My name is Omkar Pathak'.encode('utf-8'), 32) print(encryptedData) # Decryption using Private Key decryptedData = key.decrypt(encryptedData) print(decryptedData)
