encrypt

KeyManager.encrypt(message: Union[str, bytes], pad=None, hashing: cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes.HashAlgorithm = <cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes.SHA256 object>) → bytes[source]

Encrypt a message using the loaded public_key - returns the ciphertext as base64 encoded bytes.

NOTE: Only works for RSA public keys

Parameters

  • message (str|bytes) – The message to encrypt, e.g. hello world

  • pad – (RSA only) An instance of a cryptography padding class, e.g. padding.PSS

  • hashing (HashAlgorithm) – (ECDSA/RSA) Use this hashing method for padding/signatures

Return bytes ciphertext

The encrypted version of message - encoded with Base64 for easy storage/transport
