This is a development done by Christophe Oosterlynck under my supervision during his thesis work & internship at NXP.

The code is available on repo.or.cz and on github, which may be easier if you wan to submit pull requests.

  • ciphers from pycrypto are being used with the python chaining modes and not the original pycrypto ones
    => plaintext can be supplied in arbitrary sizes instead of multiples of the blocksize like in pycrypto: the new chaining modes keep a cache to encrypt/decrypt data once the cachesize holds at least a blocksize of data
  • new possibilities:
    • Rijndael, Serpent, Twofish
      • Rijndael is limited to blocksizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits
    • CMAC, XTS, CTR
      • XTS is usable for ciphers with blocksizes of 16 bytes => XTS-AES, Serpent, Twofish
      • XTS encrypts the given input at once while all other chain modes encrypt only when a block plaintext is available in the cache
      • CMAC is usable for blocksizes of 8 and 16 bytes
    • OFB,CFB and CTR can be accessed as a stream cipher (you get the encrypted message immediately, you don't have to wait until a complete block of plaintext has been provided to the cipher)
    • new Hash functions: extended SHA family, Whirpool, RadioGatùn, PBKDF2
  • test functions are available via doctests and extensive tests that loop through dictionary of test vectors
    • new pycrypto version will have it's own test bench for ciphers, this is not implemented yet

source structure

root of CryptoPlus package
src/Protocol.py make all Crypto.Protocol modules available under CryptoPlus.Protocol
src/PublicKey.py make all Crypto.PublicKey modules available under CryptoPlus.PublicKey
src/__init__.py make the following modules available under the CryptoPlus package:
  • always: "Cipher","PublicKey","Util","Protocol","Hash","testvectors"
  • if pycrypto > 2.0.1: "SelfTest", "Random"
src/testvectors.py
  • contains dictionaries with testvectors for: CBC, CFB, OFB and CTR with AES, DES,TDES2/3, Serpent128/192/256, CMAC-AES128/192/256, CMAC-TDES2/3, XTS-AES
  • used by test/test.py
CryptoPlus.Cipher subpackage
src/Cipher/__init__.py specify all the ciphers in the CryptoPlus.Cipher package + import of the streamcipher ARC4 and XOR
src/Cipher/blockcipher.py
  • class BlockCipher: parent class for every cipher you constructs. Holds some variabeles (key, blocksize) and objects (blockcipher, chain mode).
  • classes for every chain mode: the BlockCipher uses one of these as the chaining mode object. They are all own python code but sometimes based on non-complete code that was available.
Wrappers for pycrypto
src/Cipher/AES.py
  • wraps Crypto.Cipher.AES
  • doctests for: ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB, CTR, XTS, CMAC
src/Cipher/ARC2.py
  • wraps Crypto.Cipher.ARC2
  • doctests for: 1 ECB example
src/Cipher/Blowfish.py
  • wraps Crypto.Cipher.Blowfish
  • doctests for: ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB
src/Cipher/CAST.py
  • wraps Crypto.Cipher.CAST
  • doctests for: 2 ECB examples (128 bit and 40 bit key size)

src/Cipher/pytwofish.py
src/Cipher/rijndael.py

src/Hash/python_*.py
  • wrappers for the pure python (py*.py) implementations of hash functions
  • provide "new()" function and some doctests
src/Hash/py*.py
  • pure python implementations of hash functions
  • pyradiogatun.py is own code, the rest is gathered from other sources

test/test_doctests.py script to run all doctest available in every cipher wrapper (pure python and pycrypto wrapper)

TODO

  • check other implementation of Blowfish
  • use unittest for test functions
  • check development of pycrypto:
    • Util.Counter & Util._counter
    • SelfTest: usable to perform the test for python algo's in CryptoPlus if testvectors are in right format?
