RSA encryption and decryption in Python

Question

I need help using RSA encryption and decryption in Python.

I am creating a private/public key pair, encrypting a message with keys and writing message to a file. Th

Answer 1

PKCS#1 OAEP is an asymmetric cipher based on RSA and the OAEP padding

from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
from Crypto import Random
from Crypto.Cipher import PKCS1_OAEP


def rsa_encrypt_decrypt():
    key = RSA.generate(2048)
    private_key = key.export_key('PEM')
    public_key = key.publickey().exportKey('PEM')
    message = input('plain text for RSA encryption and decryption:')
    message = str.encode(message)

    rsa_public_key = RSA.importKey(public_key)
    rsa_public_key = PKCS1_OAEP.new(rsa_public_key)
    encrypted_text = rsa_public_key.encrypt(message)
    #encrypted_text = b64encode(encrypted_text)

    print('your encrypted_text is : {}'.format(encrypted_text))


    rsa_private_key = RSA.importKey(private_key)
    rsa_private_key = PKCS1_OAEP.new(rsa_private_key)
    decrypted_text = rsa_private_key.decrypt(encrypted_text)

    print('your decrypted_text is : {}'.format(decrypted_text))
