encrypt
(**kwargs)¶ Encrypts and serializes provided plaintext.
Note
When using this function, the entire ciphertext message is encrypted into memory before returning any data. If streaming is desired, see
aws_encryption_sdk.stream
.>>> import aws_encryption_sdk >>> kms_key_provider = aws_encryption_sdk.KMSMasterKeyProvider(key_ids=[ ... 'arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:2222222222222:key/22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222', ... 'arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:3333333333333:key/33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333' ... ]) >>> my_ciphertext, encryptor_header = aws_encryption_sdk.encrypt( ... source=my_plaintext, ... key_provider=kms_key_provider ... )
Parameters: - config (aws_encryption_sdk.streaming_client.EncryptorConfig) – Client configuration object (config or individual parameters required)
- source (str, bytes, io.IOBase, or file) – Source data to encrypt or decrypt
- materials_manager (aws_encryption_sdk.materials_managers.base.CryptoMaterialsManager) – CryptoMaterialsManager from which to obtain cryptographic materials (either materials_manager or key_provider required)
- key_provider (aws_encryption_sdk.key_providers.base.MasterKeyProvider) – MasterKeyProvider from which to obtain data keys for encryption (either materials_manager or key_provider required)
- source_length (int) –
Length of source data (optional)
Note
If source_length is not provided and unframed message is being written or read() is called, will attempt to seek() to the end of the stream and tell() to find the length of source data.
Note
New in version 1.3.0.
If source_length and materials_manager are both provided, the total plaintext bytes encrypted will not be allowed to exceed source_length. To maintain backwards compatibility, this is not enforced if a key_provider is provided.
- encryption_context (dict) – Dictionary defining encryption context
- algorithm (aws_encryption_sdk.identifiers.Algorithm) – Algorithm to use for encryption
- frame_length (int) – Frame length in bytes
Returns: Tuple containing the encrypted ciphertext and the message header object
Return type: tuple of bytes and
aws_encryption_sdk.structures.MessageHeader
-
aws_encryption_sdk.
decrypt
(**kwargs)¶ Deserializes and decrypts provided ciphertext.
Note
When using this function, the entire ciphertext message is decrypted into memory before returning any data. If streaming is desired, see
aws_encryption_sdk.stream
.>>> import aws_encryption_sdk >>> kms_key_provider = aws_encryption_sdk.KMSMasterKeyProvider(key_ids=[ ... 'arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:2222222222222:key/22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222', ... 'arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:3333333333333:key/33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333' ... ]) >>> my_ciphertext, encryptor_header = aws_encryption_sdk.decrypt( ... source=my_ciphertext, ... key_provider=kms_key_provider ... )
Parameters: - config (aws_encryption_sdk.streaming_client.DecryptorConfig) – Client configuration object (config or individual parameters required)
- source (str, bytes, io.IOBase, or file) – Source data to encrypt or decrypt
- materials_manager (aws_encryption_sdk.materials_managers.base.CryptoMaterialsManager) – CryptoMaterialsManager from which to obtain cryptographic materials (either materials_manager or key_provider required)
- key_provider (aws_encryption_sdk.key_providers.base.MasterKeyProvider) – MasterKeyProvider from which to obtain data keys for decryption (either materials_manager or key_provider required)
- source_length (int) –
Length of source data (optional)
Note
If source_length is not provided and read() is called, will attempt to seek() to the end of the stream and tell() to find the length of source data.
- max_body_length (int) – Maximum frame size (or content length for non-framed messages) in bytes to read from ciphertext message.
Returns: Tuple containing the decrypted plaintext and the message header object
Return type: tuple of bytes and
aws_encryption_sdk.structures.MessageHeader
-
aws_encryption_sdk.
stream
(**kwargs)¶ Provides an
open()
-like interface to the streaming encryptor/decryptor classes.Warning
Take care when decrypting framed messages with large frame length and large non-framed messages. In order to protect the authenticity of the encrypted data, no plaintext is returned until it has been authenticated. Because of this, potentially large amounts of data may be read into memory. In the case of framed messages, the entire contents of each frame are read into memory and authenticated before returning any plaintext. In the case of non-framed messages, the entire message is read into memory and authenticated before returning any plaintext. The authenticated plaintext is held in memory until it is requested.
Note
Consequently, keep the above decrypting consideration in mind when encrypting messages to ensure that issues are not encountered when decrypting those messages.
