Hi, I am working on a project where I need to decrypt some data that has been encrypted with AES. It looks like M2Crypto is the module of choice for these sorts of things, but I cannot figure out how to do this stuff from the docs. I have the following PHP code that needs to be translated into Python:
$iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB); $iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND); return rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $data,MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv),"\0"); I can't find a method in M2Crypto that gets the "initialization vector" size. I found the right method in the tests, which appears to be EVP.Cipher. So I would assume, I would need to do something like: EVP.Cipher(alg="aes_256_ecb", key=SomeKey, iv=SomeIV, op=dec, padding=False) I don't really see where I pass the data that needs the decrypting though. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks, Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
