Crippter is a simple class to encrypt files or strings with a password. It is neither fast nor very secure but works when the security requirements are low and the content to be encrypted is small. Usage example: password = "secret" message = "This is a secret for jo jo bolonga!!!!" crippter = Crippter(password) encoded_message = crippter.encryptString(message) decoded_message = Crippter(password).decryptString(encoded_message) print "This should be true: %s\n"%(message == decoded_message) crippter.encryptFile('pain.mp3','encrypted_pain.mp3') crippter.decryptFile('encrypted_pain.mp3','decrypted_pain.mp3') print "This should be Equal %s\n"%(filecmp.cmp('decrypted_pain.mp3','pain.mp3'))
