How can I decrypt JSON data in Python?

You can use the json module along with a decryption library like cryptography. Do you have a specific encryption method in mind?

I'm using AES encryption. How do I implement that?

You can use the Fernet class from the cryptography library for AES. First, install the library using pip install cryptography. Then, you can decrypt your JSON data like this:

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
import json

# Your key and encrypted data
key = b'your_key_here'
fernet = Fernet(key)

# Decrypting the JSON data
encrypted_data = b'your_encrypted_json'
 decrypted_data = fernet.decrypt(encrypted_data)
json_data = json.loads(decrypted_data)

Make sure to replace your_key_here and your_encrypted_json with your actual key and data.

What if I don't have the key?

Without the key, you won't be able to decrypt the data. It's crucial to securely store your encryption keys. If you lose it, the data is irretrievable.

Are there any other libraries I can use for decryption?

Yes, you can also use libraries like PyCryptodome or SimpleCrypt. Each has its own methods for handling encryption and decryption.
