cryptographic primitives and due to lack of vendor support.*
## Features
Currently the following features are implemented. Many of these should only be
used for integration with existing/legacy systems. If you don't know which you
should, or should not use, please see [Learning](docs/readme.md#learning).
- [TLSv1.x socket wrappers](docs/tls.md)
- Certificate verification performed by OS trust roots
- Custom CA certificate support
- SNI support (except Windows XP)
- Session reuse via IDs/tickets
- Modern cipher suites (RC4, DES, anon and NULL ciphers disabled)
- Weak DH parameters and certificate signatures rejected
- SSLv3 disabled by default, SSLv2 unimplemented
- CRL/OCSP revocation checks consistenty disabled
- [Exporting OS trust roots](docs/trust_list.md)
- PEM-formatted CA certs from the OS for OpenSSL-based code
- [Encryption/decryption](docs/symmetric.md)
- AES (128, 192, 256), CBC mode, PKCS7 padding
- AES (128, 192, 256), CBC mode, no padding
- TripleDES 3-key, CBC mode, PKCS5 padding
- TripleDes 2-key, CBC mode, PKCS5 padding
- DES, CBC mode, PKCS5 padding
- RC2 (40-128), CBC mode, PKCS5 padding
- RC4 (40-128)
- RSA PKCSv1.5
- RSA OAEP (SHA1 only)
- [Generating public/private key pairs](docs/asymmetric.md)
- RSA (1024, 2048, 3072, 4096 bit)
- DSA (1024 bit on all platforms - 2048, 3072 bit with OpenSSL 1.x or
Windows 8)
- EC (secp256r1, secp384r1, secp521r1 curves)
- [Generating DH parameters](docs/asymmetric.md)
- [Signing and verification](docs/asymmetric.md)
- RSA PKCSv1.5
- RSA PSS
- DSA
- EC
- [Loading and normalizing DER and PEM formatted keys](docs/keys.md)
- RSA public and private keys
- DSA public and private keys
- EC public and private keys
- X.509 Certificates
- PKCS#12 archives (`.pfx`/`.p12`)
- [Key derivation](docs/kdf.md)
- PBKDF2
- PBKDF1
- PKCS#12 KDF
- [Random byte generation](docs/util.md)
The feature set was largely driven by the technologies used related to
generating and validating X.509 certificates. The various CBC encryption schemes
and KDFs are used to load encrypted private keys, and the various RSA padding
schemes are part of X.509 signatures.
For modern cryptography not tied to an existing system, please see the
[Modern Cryptography](docs/readme.md#modern-cryptography) section of the docs.
*Please note that this library does not include modern block modes such as CTR
and GCM due to lack of support from both OS X and OpenSSL 0.9.8.*
## Why Another Python Crypto Library?
In short, the existing cryptography libraries for Python didn't fit the needs of
a couple of projects I was working on. Primarily these are applications
distributed to end-users who aren't programmers, that need to handle TLS and
various technologies related to X.509 certificates.
If your system is not tied to AES, TLS, X.509, or related technologies, you
probably want [more modern cryptography](docs/readme.md#modern-cryptography).
Depending on your needs, the [cryptography](https://cryptography.io) package may
be a good (or better) fit.
Some things that make oscrypto unique:
- No compiler needed, ever. No need to pre-compile shared libraries. Just
distribute the Python source files, any way you want.
- Uses the operating system's crypto library - does not require OpenSSL on
Windows or OS X.
- Relies on the operating system for security patching. You don't need to
rebuild all of your apps every time there is a new TLS vulnerability.
- Intentionally limited in scope to crypto primitives. Other libraries
built upon it deal with certificate path validation, creating certificates
and CSRs, constructing CMS structures.
- Built on top of a fast, pure-Python ASN.1 parser,
[asn1crypto](https://github.com/wbond/asn1crypto).
- TLS functionality uses the operating system's trust list/CA certs and is
pre-configured with sane defaults
- Public APIs are simple and use strict type checks to avoid errors
Some downsides include:
- Does not currently implement:
- standalone DH key exchange
- various encryption modes such as GCM, CCM, CTR, CFB, OFB, ECB
- key wrapping
- CMAC
- HKDF
- Non-TLS functionality is architected for dealing with data that fits in
memory and is available all at once
- Developed by a single developer

2022-08-01 15:04:05 +02:00
## Testing
Tests are written using `unittest` and require no third-party packages.
Depending on what type of source is available for the package, the following
commands can be used to run the test suite.
### Git Repository
When working within a Git working copy, or an archive of the Git repository,
the full test suite is run via:
```bash
python run.py tests
```
To run only some tests, pass a regular expression as a parameter to `tests`.
```bash
python run.py tests aes
```
To run tests multiple times, in order to catch edge-case bugs, pass an integer
to `tests`. If combined with a regular expression for filtering, pass the
repeat count after the regular expression.
```bash
python run.py tests 20
python run.py tests aes 20
```
2022-09-15 21:21:07 +02:00
#### Backend Options
2022-08-01 15:04:05 +02:00
To run tests using a custom build of OpenSSL, or to use OpenSSL on Windows or
Mac, add `use_openssl` after `run.py`, like:
```bash
2022-09-15 21:21:07 +02:00
python run.py use_openssl=/path/to/libcrypto.so,/path/to/libssl.so tests
```
To run tests forcing the use of ctypes, even if cffi is installed, add
`use_ctypes` after `run.py`:
```bash
python run.py use_ctypes=true tests
```
To run tests using the legacy Windows crypto functions on Windows 7+, add
`use_winlegacy` after `run.py`:
```bash
python run.py use_winlegacy=true tests
```
#### Internet Tests
To skip tests that require an internet connection, add `skip_internet` after
`run.py`:
```bash
python run.py skip_internet=true tests
2022-08-01 15:04:05 +02:00
```
### PyPi Source Distribution
When working within an extracted source distribution (aka `.tar.gz`) from
PyPi, the full test suite is run via:
```bash
python setup.py test
```
2022-09-15 21:21:07 +02:00
#### Test Options
The following env vars can control aspects of running tests:
##### Force OpenSSL Shared Library Paths
Setting the env var `OSCRYPTO_USE_OPENSSL` to a string in the form:
```
/path/to/libcrypto.so,/path/to/libssl.so
```
will force use of specific OpenSSL shared libraries.
This also works on Mac and Windows to force use of OpenSSL instead of using
native crypto libraries.
##### Force Use of ctypes
By default, oscrypto will use the `cffi` module for FFI if it is installed.
To use the slightly slower, but more widely-tested, `ctypes` FFI layer, set
the env var `OPENSSL_USE_CTYPES=true`.
##### Force Use of Legacy Windows Crypto APIs
On Windows 7 and newer, oscrypto will use the CNG backend by default.
To force use of the older CryptoAPI, set the env var
`OPENSSL_USE_WINLEGACY=true`.
##### Skip Tests Requiring an Internet Connection
Some of the TLS tests require an active internet connection to ensure that
various "bad" server certificates are rejected.
To skip tests requiring an internet connection, set the env var
`OPENSSL_SKIP_INTERNET_TESTS=true`.
2022-08-01 15:04:05 +02:00
### Package
When the package has been installed via pip (or another method), the package
`oscrypto_tests` may be installed and invoked to run the full test suite:
```bash
pip install oscrypto_tests
python -m oscrypto_tests
```
## Development
To install the package used for linting, execute:
```bash
pip install --user -r requires/lint
```
The following command will run the linter:
```bash
python run.py lint
```
Support for code coverage can be installed via:
```bash
pip install --user -r requires/coverage
```
Coverage is measured by running:
```bash
python run.py coverage
```
To install the packages requires to generate the API documentation, run:
```bash
pip install --user -r requires/api_docs
```
The documentation can then be generated by running:
```bash
python run.py api_docs
```
To install the necessary packages for releasing a new version on PyPI, run:
```bash
pip install --user -r requires/release
```
Releases are created by:
- Making a git tag in [semver](http://semver.org/) format
- Running the command:
```bash
python run.py release
```
Existing releases can be found at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/oscrypto.
## CI Tasks
A task named `deps` exists to download and stage all necessary testing
dependencies. On posix platforms, `curl` is used for downloads and on Windows
PowerShell with `Net.WebClient` is used. This configuration sidesteps issues
related to getting pip to work properly and messing with `site-packages` for
the version of Python being used.
2022-09-15 21:21:07 +02:00
The `ci` task runs `lint` (if flake8 is available for the version of Python) and
2022-08-01 15:04:05 +02:00
`coverage` (or `tests` if coverage is not available for the version of Python).
If the current directory is a clean git working copy, the coverage data is
submitted to codecov.io.
```bash
python run.py deps
python run.py ci
```
