Top 23 Python Cryptography Projects

• Ciphey

  27 17,092 2.9 Python

  ⚡ Automatically decrypt encryptions without knowing the key or cipher, decode encodings, and crack hashes ⚡

  

Project mention: CyberChef from GCHQ: The Cyber Swiss Army Knife | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-01

I also discovered Ciphey. Neat little tool indeed, but it's being deprecated. It's mentioned in this issue[1] and being replaced with Ares[2]. Neither could decipher this strange encryption[3] I used it on :(

Project mention: A Better Mastodon Client | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-21

https://github.com/OpenMined/PySyft - Federated Learning data science

Incentives are much harder but smart contracts can handle the tech part.

Going this route eventually you quickly have "quantum AI app store" and your system of government is a 12GB download. Can't even say if it's a good idea compared to e.g. anarcho-primitivism.

• mintotp

  23 1,287 0.0 Python

  Minimal TOTP generator in 20 lines of Python

Project mention: PyPI announces mandatory use of 2FA for all software publishers | /r/programming | 2023-05-30

Huh? Who is saying you need a smartphone? PyPi accepts TOTP as 2FA. TOTP is an open standard that has been around for at least a decade already and is very easy to implement, literally 20 lines of python. There are a ton of TOTP applications available, from CLI, to GUI on desktop systems, to Android apps, iOS, etc. If you have any device, be it a computer, phone, tablet, etc., which you do since you need one to publish the code from, you can easily generate TOTP codes. Heck, you could even do it by a hand on a paper.
