Photocrypt

What is photocrypt?

Photocrypt is a python package provides tools to encrypt and decrypt various image formats.

Requirements

Photocrypt requires Python 3.6 version or newer.

Installation

You can install our pacakage with pip:

pip install photocrypt

This will install dependencies of photocrypt as well.

What’s inside

Photocrypt has five submodules including itself:

  • photocrypt: operations for image encryption

  • photocrypt.core: basic classes and operations used within photocrypt.

  • photocrypt.crypto: ciphers that work on bytes.

  • photocrypt.image: image classes and operations.

  • photocrypt.utils: useful classes and operations.

Quick Start

This page will show simple usages of our package.

Generate Keys

The code below shows how to generate keys:

from photocrypt.crypto.RSA import generate_key, save_keypair

# generate key pair
private_key, public_key = generate_key()

# save key pair
save_keypair((private_key, public_key), ("private.pem", "public.pem"))

Encrypt Image

The code below shows how to load public key and encrypt an image:

from photocrypt import open_image, encrypt_image
from photocrypt.crypto.RSA import load_key

# open image
image = open_image("samples/tuatara.jpg")

# load public key
public_key = load_key("public.pem")

# encrypt image
image_enc = encrypt_image(image, public_key)

# save image
image.save("samples/tuatara_enc.jpg")

Decrypt Image

The code below shows how to load private key and decrypt an image:

from photocrypt import open_image, decrypt_image
from photocrypt.crypto.RSA import load_key

# open image
image = open_image("samples/tuatara_enc.jpg")

# load private key
private_key = load_key("private.pem")

# encrypt image
image_enc = encrypt_image(image, private_key)

# save image
image.save("samples/tuatara_dec.jpg")
