tiny-AES-c Cython wrapper
tinyaes
is a few lines Cython
wrapper for the tiny-AES-c
library, a
Small portable AES128/192/256 in C.
The library offers a few modes, CTR mode is the only one currently wrapped. Given the C API works modifying a buffer in-place, the wrapper offers:
CTR_xcrypt_buffer(..)
that works on all bytes convertible types, and encrypting a copy of the buffer,CTR_xcrypt_buffer_inplace(..)
that works onbytearray
s only, modifying the buffer in-place.

The CI is up and running, but on Linux only, running a minimal test suite that uses hypothesis, and that allowed me to find a first bug, a missed variable replacement that had nefarious consequences.
The source package released on PyPI should be usable on Windows and MacOS too,
just pip install tinyaes
.
The development instead is Linux centered, without any guide yet, but the CI script can be a guide.
TL;DR
- Download Just and put it in your
PATH
. just test
should install the library and the dependencies and run the tests using your default Python version.- Inspect the
justfile
for some hints about what happens.
Thanks
The library is very minimal, but nonetheless, it uses a lot of existing software. I'd like to thank:
-
Cython developer for their wonderful "product", both the library and the documentation.
-
Kudos to
kokke
for their tiny-AES-c library, very minimal and easy to build and wrap for any usage that needs only the few AES modes it exposes. -
Just developers for their automation tool, I use in most of my projects.

A huge thank to all the hypothesis authors to their fantastic library, that helped me to find an miss-named variable bug that I worked very hard to add in a 6 lines of code wrapper! And to this Data-driven testing with Python article that had left me with the desire to try the library.
