What are some common encryption algorithms in Python?

Some common encryption algorithms in Python include AES, DES, RSA, and Blowfish. Would you like to know more about any specific one?

Can you explain how AES works?

AES, or Advanced Encryption Standard, is a symmetric encryption algorithm that uses block ciphers. It encrypts data in fixed-size blocks of 128 bits and supports key sizes of 128, 192, or 256 bits.

How do I implement AES in Python?

You can implement AES in Python using the pycryptodome library. 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
ct_bytes = cipher.encrypt(pad(data, AES.block_size))

# Decrypting
pt = unpad(cipher.decrypt(ct_bytes), AES.block_size)
