How to install it and use it
- Encryption Tool: Screenshots and
a brief description of operation.
- RSA Tool: Screenshots and
a brief description of operation.
- Download (all downloads contain both the encryption tool
and the RSA tool):
- Windows self-extracting
executable. Just click on this link and download it somewhere on
your machine (we'll call that the download directory). Then find the
download directory using the "My Computer" tool in Windows (or Explorer or your
favorite file finding tool) and click on the file you just downloaded
(default name: pyrsa-win_0.1). Windows will ask what directory it
should extract into (call this the extract directory). Choose one.
Then go to the extract directory with your file-finding tool and
either click on start_rsa_gui or start_encoder
- Python Source distribution.
(GPG Signature File,
Public Key)
Requires Python with TKinter. Installs Python source under the
current Python installation site-packages under a package named
Crypto. See README file.
- To build:
python setup.py build
python setup.py install_data install-dir=build/lib
- To install:
python setup.py install
- No arch rpm.
(Public Key)
Requires
Python with TKinter. Requires a Linux system that uses rpm. Installs
Python source under the current Python installation site-packages
under a package named Crypto with the usual rpm -i commands.
- A note on checking signatures. The rpm and tar file work
in slightly different ways.
- Tar file.
To use the tar signature file pyrsa_gui-0.1-1.tar.gz.sig
for verification, you must have gpg installed,
and you must have imported my public key into gpg.
To import my public key into your gpg key ring
first get
my public key
into a file on your home computer called, say, gawron.asc and do:
gpg --import gawron.asc
The command for verifying the
signature file is:
gpg pyrsa_gui-0.1-1.tar.gz.sig
gpg then prompts you for the name of the data file,
which is pyrsa_gui-0.1-1.tar.gz.
- Rpm file.
This rpm file is signed and rpm
checks signatures on installation. Default behavior is to refuse to
complete installation for an unverified file. To just check the
signature alone do:
rpm --checksig pyrsa_gui-0.1-1.noarch.rpm
To have this work right you must have gpg installed,
and you must have imported my public key into rpm.
To do that, first get
my public key
into a file on your home computer called, say, gawron.asc and do:
rpm --import gawron.asc
