Bindings for the Twofish implementation by Niels Ferguson libtwofish-dev.
Compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3.
The library performs a self-test at each import.
pip install twofish
Create a twofish.Twofish
instance with a key of length ]0, 32] and then use the encrypt
and decrypt
methods on 16 bytes blocks.
All values must be binary strings (str
on Python 2, bytes
on Python 3)
[WARNING] this should be used in a senseful cipher mode, like CTR or CBC. If you don't know what this mean, you should probably usa a higher level library.
>>> from twofish import Twofish
>>> T = Twofish(b'*secret*')
>>> x = T.encrypt(b'YELLOWSUBMARINES')
>>> print(T.decrypt(x).decode())
YELLOWSUBMARINES
