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

Here is my implementation for python 3 and pycrypto

from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
key = RSA.generate(4096)
f = open('/home/john/Desktop/my_rsa_public.pem', 'wb')
f.write(key.publickey().exportKey('PEM'))
f.close()
f = open('/home/john/Desktop/my_rsa_private.pem', 'wb')
f.write(key.exportKey('PEM'))
f.close()

f = open('/home/john/Desktop/my_rsa_public.pem', 'rb')
f1 = open('/home/john/Desktop/my_rsa_private.pem', 'rb')
key = RSA.importKey(f.read())
key1 = RSA.importKey(f1.read())

x = key.encrypt(b"ffffdffffd",32)

print(x)
z = key1.decrypt(x)
print(z)
