# RC6Encryption

## Description

This pure python package implements the RC6 encryption (ECB and CBC encryption mode).

> All encryption and decryption mode are tested, i compare the result with https://www.lddgo.net/en/encrypt/rc6 API.
>> The ECB mode is not recommended, it's the basic encryption for block cipher, you should always use CBC encryption for data greater than 16 bytes.

## Requirements

This package require:

- python3
- python3 Standard Library

## Installation

```bash
pip install RC6Encryption
```

## Usages

### Recommended options

```bash
rc6 [key] -m CBC -6 -o [secrets.cipher] -i [secrets.file] # encryption
rc6 [key] -m CBC -n base64 -i [secrets.cipher] -o [decipher.file] -d # decryption
```

### Command line

#### Module

```bash
python3 -m RC6Encryption rc6key -s secrets
```

#### Python executable

```bash
python3 RC6Encryption.pyz rc6key -s secrets
```

#### Command

##### Basic

```bash
rc6 rc6key -s secrets # encrypt "secrets" with rc6key sha256 as key
```

##### Advanced

```bash
rc6 rc6key -r 12 -l 5 -w 32 -s secrets # encrypt "secrets" with rc6key sha256 as key (rounds=12, wbit=32, lgw=5) in ECB mode
echo secrets| rc6 rc6key --no-sha256 -i # encrypt "secrets\n" with key and PKCS 5/7 padding in ECB mode
rc6 rc6key -m CBC -I IVTEST -i secrets.txt # encrypt secrets.txt file content with rc6key sha256 as key and CBC mode and IVTEST as IV
rc6 rc6key -o encrypt.rc6 -s secrets -m CBC # encrypt "secrets" with rc6key sha256 as key, IVTEST as IV and redirect the output to the encrypt.rc6 file using CBC encryption mode and random IV
rc6 rc6key -i encrypt.rc6 -d -m CBC # decrypt encrypt.rc6 with rc6key sha256 as key using CBC encryption mode

## INPUT ENCODING

rc6 rc6key -n base64 -s c2VjcmV0cw== # encrypt "secrets" with rc6key sha256 as key ("c2VjcmV0cw==" = base64("secrets"))

## OUTPUT ENCODING

rc6 rc6key -s secrets -8 # encrypt "secrets" with rc6key sha256 as key, base85-encoded output
rc6 rc6key -s secrets -6 # encrypt "secrets" with rc6key sha256 as key, base64-encoded output
rc6 rc6key -s secrets -3 # encrypt "secrets" with rc6key sha256 as key, base30-encoded output
rc6 rc6key -s secrets -1 # encrypt "secrets" with rc6key sha256 as key, base16-encoded output
rc6 rc6key -s secrets -u # encrypt "secrets" with rc6key sha256 as key, uu-encoded output
```

### Python script

#### RC6 encryption using CBC (recommended)

```python
from RC6Encryption import RC6Encryption

rc6 = RC6Encryption(b'abcdefghijklm')
iv, encrypt = rc6.data_encryption_CBC(b'abcdefghijklmnopabcdefghijklmnopabcdefghijklm') # Random IV
plaintext = rc6.data_decryption_CBC(encrypt, iv)

iv, encrypt = rc6.data_encryption_CBC(b'abcdefghijklmnopabcdefghijklmnopabcdefghijklm', b'IVTEST') # Generate your IV, be careful, an IV with size less than 16 bytes is not recommended
plaintext = rc6.data_decryption_CBC(encrypt, iv)
```

#### RC6 encryption using ECB (not recommended)

```python
from RC6Encryption import RC6Encryption

rc6 = RC6Encryption(b'abcdefghijklm')
iv, encrypt = rc6.data_encryption_EBC(b'abcdefghijklmnopabcdefghijklmnopabcdefghijklm')
plaintext = rc6.data_decryption_CBC(encrypt, iv)
```

#### Low level API

```python
from RC6Encryption import RC6Encryption
from hashlib import sha256

rc6 = RC6Encryption(sha256(b'abcdefghijklmnop').digest())
cipher = rc6.blocks_to_data(rc6.encrypt(b'abcdefghijklmnop'))
decipher = rc6.blocks_to_data(rc6.decrypt(cipher))
```
