How can I implement log encryption in Python and Java?

In Python, you can use the cryptography library. For Java, the javax.crypto package is commonly used. Would you like code examples?

Yes, please provide examples for both languages.

Sure! In Python:

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

key = Fernet.generate_key()
fernet = Fernet(key)

log_message = 'This is a log entry.'
encrypted_message = fernet.encrypt(log_message.encode())

And in Java:

import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;

Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
KeyGenerator keyGen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
SecretKey secretKey = keyGen.generateKey();

What are the best practices for managing encryption keys?

Best practices include using a secure key management system, rotating keys regularly, and ensuring keys are stored separately from encrypted data.
