Jasypt decryption library in Python

Jasypt 2 Python

Description

This project allows for python to decrypt ciphertext that has been encrypted with the JASYPT Java library. It assumes that the encryption has been done in the format:

PBEWITHSHA256AND256BITAES-CBC-BC

The purpose of this library is to provide the ability for Python applications (such as Django and its custom fields) to access information from a database that has been encrypted using the JASYPT field-level method.

Installation

pip install Jasypt2Python

Usage

from j2p.JASYPT import Decryptor


my_password = "password used for encryption"
some_ciphertext = "..."

decryptor = Decryptor(my_password)
plaintext = decryptor.decrypt(some_ciphertext)

print plaintext

Requires

• All requirements are listed in requirements.txt
• J2P decryption uses the pycrypto library (from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycrypto)
