What are some encryption methods I can use in Python?

You can use several encryption methods in Python, such as AES, DES, and RSA. Would you like to know more about a specific one?

Yes, tell me about AES.

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used for secure data encryption. It uses key sizes of 128, 192, or 256 bits.

How do I implement AES in Python?

You can implement AES using the pycryptodome library. First, install it using pip install pycryptodome. Then, you can use the AES class to encrypt and decrypt data.

Can you provide a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto.Util.Padding import pad, unpad

key = b'Sixteen byte key'

cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC)

# Encrypting
plaintext = b'This is a secret.'
ct_bytes = cipher.encrypt(pad(plaintext, AES.block_size))

# Decrypting
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC, iv=cipher.iv)
pt = unpad(cipher.decrypt(ct_bytes), AES.block_size)
print(pt)
