+ # CryptoVault-Python
25
+
26
+ **A Python implementation of the [`cryptovault`](https://github.com/BolivarTech/cryptovault)
27
+ blob format, byte-compatible with the Rust crate.** AES-256-GCM-SIV under an HKDF-SHA256 key,
28
+ Argon2id key derivation and DEK/KEK key wrapping, followed by the crate's forward-error
29
+ correction: Reed-Solomon, an interleaver and a Viterbi code, or no FEC at all.
30
+
31
+ > **Status: 0.2.0, alpha.** Every FEC strategy of `cryptovault` 0.3.0 is implemented and
32
+ > checked in both directions against the crate.
33
+
34
+ ---
35
+
36
+ ## What it does
37
+
38
+ Two services that share a 32-byte key can encrypt and authenticate messages for each other.
39
+ A blob made on either side opens on the other, Rust → Python and Python → Rust. The package
40
+ opens no connections and knows nothing about transports: it turns text or key material into
41
+ a blob and back, and the caller moves the blob.
42
+
43
+ The Rust crate stacks two independent layers: an AEAD that provides all of the security,
44
+ then an FEC that adds channel resilience and no security. Both are implemented here, with
45
+ the same four FEC strategies as the crate.
46
+
47
+ ## Installation
48
+
49
+ ```sh
50
+ pip install cryptovault-py
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ The import name is `cryptovault`. [Requirements](#requirements) lists the supported Python versions and the `cryptography` and
54
+ OpenSSL floor.
55
+
56
+ ## Quick start
57
+
58
+ ```python
59
+ >>> from cryptovault import CryptoVault, generate_dek, generate_salt
60
+ >>> vault = CryptoVault.default() # Argon2id + AES-256-GCM-SIV + concatenated FEC
61
+
62
+ >>> key = generate_dek() # or vault.derive_key(password, salt)
63
+ >>> blob = vault.encrypt_with_key(key, "sk-secret")
64
+ >>> vault.decrypt_with_key(key, blob)
65
+ 'sk-secret'
66
+
67
+ >>> salt = generate_salt() # one per context, kept by the caller
68
+ >>> kek = generate_dek()
69
+ >>> dek = generate_dek()
70
+ >>> wrapped = vault.wrap_key(kek, salt, dek) # the salt is bound as AAD
71
+ >>> vault.unwrap_key(kek, salt, wrapped) == dek
72
+ True
73
+
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ `CryptoVault.default()` matches `CryptoVault::default()` in Rust. To pick another FEC
77
+ strategy, compose the vault yourself; the constructor has no defaults:
78
+
79
+ ```python
80
+ >>> from cryptovault import Aes256GcmSivCipher, Argon2Kdf, NoFec
81
+ >>> aead_only = CryptoVault(Argon2Kdf(), Aes256GcmSivCipher(), NoFec())
82
+ >>> aead_only.decrypt_with_key(key, aead_only.encrypt_with_key(key, "hi"))
83
+ 'hi'
84
+
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ `derive_key(password, salt)` runs Argon2id with the crate's OWASP-2025 profile (64 MiB, three
88
+ passes, four lanes). Call it once per session and keep the key.
89
+
90
+ ### Blob layout
91
+
92
+ ```text
93
+ blob = base64( fec.encode( header ‖ nonce(12 B) ‖ ciphertext ‖ tag(16 B) ) ) standard, padded
94
+ header = version (0x01) ‖ plaintext_len (u32, little-endian)
95
+ key = HKDF-SHA256( salt = none, ikm = 32-byte master key, info = "cryptovault:v1:aead", L = 32 )
96
+ AAD = purpose ‖ header ‖ aad_extra
97
+ purpose = 0x01 data · 0x02 wrapped key
98
+ extra = empty for data · the salt for a wrapped key (authenticated, never stored)
99
+ cipher = AES-256-GCM-SIV, fresh random 12-byte nonce per message
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ The header is bound as associated data, so changing any bit of it fails authentication. The purpose byte keeps a data blob from opening as a wrapped key, and
103
+ the other way round. As for the version byte, it leaves room for the format to evolve; today
104
+ only `0x01` is accepted.
105
+
106
+ ## FEC strategies
107
+
108
+ The FEC layer sits after the AEAD and only helps a blob survive a noisy channel. Correction
109
+ is all or nothing. Within capacity the blob comes back exact; past it, decryption fails with
110
+ a typed error and never returns wrong plaintext, because the AEAD tag checks the result.
111
+
112
+ | Strategy | Pipeline | Corrects | Size of a 1 KiB message |
113
+ |---|---|---|---|
114
+ | `ConcatenatedFec.default()` | RS(255, 223) → depth-5 block interleaver → Viterbi K=7 R=1/2 | scattered bit errors and bursts | 3404 B |
115
+ | `ConcatenatedFec.with_csprng_from_master(master, depth)` | the same, plus a keyed shuffle per window | as above, weaker burst spreading | 3404 B |
116
+ | `ViterbiOnlyFec()` | Viterbi K=7 R=1/2 | scattered bit errors | 2824 B |
117
+ | `ReedSolomonCodec()` | RS(255, 223) | up to 16 bad bytes per 255-byte codeword | 1700 B |
118
+ | `NoFec()` | none | nothing; any change fails authentication | 1412 B |
119
+
120
+ The CSPRNG variant derives its seed from the master key with HKDF (`info =
121
+ "cryptovault:v1:interleaver"`), and both ends must build it from the same master and depth.
122
+ It is obfuscation, not security.
123
+
124
+ The codecs are pure Python, so they are much slower than the Rust crate. Measured with
125
+ CPython 3.11 on Windows:
126
+
127
+ | Strategy | Encrypt 128 KiB | Decrypt 128 KiB | Decrypt 128 KiB, one flipped bit | Decrypt 1 KiB, one flipped bit |
128
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
129
+ | `ConcatenatedFec` | 1.4 s | 1.7 s | 15.6 s | 0.16 s |
130
+ | `ViterbiOnlyFec` | 0.25 s | 0.66 s | 14.3 s | 0.12 s |
131
+ | `ReedSolomonCodec` | 1.1 s | 1.0 s | 0.82 s | 0.01 s |
132
+ | `NoFec` | < 0.01 s | < 0.01 s | fails, < 0.01 s | fails, < 0.01 s |
133
+
134
+ A clean Viterbi sub-block decodes directly. One with channel errors runs the full trellis,
135
+ which in Python costs about 12 µs per coded bit pair, or about 12 s for a full 124 950-byte
136
+ sub-block. Noisy channels carrying large messages pay that price.
137
+
138
+ ## Security model
139
+
140
+ | Property | Mechanism | Level |
141
+ |---|---|---|
142
+ | Confidentiality | AES-256-GCM-SIV (RFC 8452) | 256-bit key |
143
+ | Integrity / authenticity | 128-bit GCM-SIV tag, header bound as AAD | forgery ≤ 2⁻¹²⁸ per message |
144
+ | Nonce-misuse resistance | SIV construction | a nonce collision reveals only plaintext equality |
145
+ | Key separation | HKDF-SHA256 with a fixed `info` label | the AEAD key is never the raw master key |
146
+ | Password hardening | Argon2id v1.3, m = 64 MiB, t = 3, p = 4 | OWASP 2025 profile |
147
+ | Context binding | salt and purpose bound as AAD on wrapped keys | wrong salt or purpose fails authentication |
148
+ | Typed failures | one exception class per failing stage, fixed messages | no input echoed in an error |
149
+ | Secret hygiene | no key, secret, blob or plaintext in errors, logs or `repr` | — |
150
+
151
+ All cryptographic primitives come from the [`cryptography`](https://cryptography.io/)
152
+ package. Nothing here is home-rolled crypto.
153
+
154
+ ### Out of scope (what it does NOT defend against)
155
+
156
+ - **Weak passwords.** Argon2id slows guessing down; it does not make a weak password strong.
157
+ - **Replay.** A valid blob stays valid. Detecting repeats is the caller's protocol concern.
158
+ - **Traffic analysis.** The header carries the plaintext length in the clear, and the blob
159
+ size follows from it.
160
+ - **Channel errors past the FEC capacity.** The blob fails closed and never decrypts to
161
+ something wrong. With `NoFec`, a single flipped bit is enough.
162
+ - **Memory disclosure.** The crate wipes secrets from memory; Python's immutable `str` and
163
+ `bytes` cannot promise that, and this package does not try.
164
+ - **Host compromise.** A key in process memory is as safe as the process.
165
+
166
+ ### Operational contracts (the caller must honor)
167
+
168
+ - **Use exactly 32 bytes of key.** A shorter or longer key is an error, not something the
169
+ package pads or truncates.
170
+ - **Use a fresh salt per context**, from `generate_salt()`. The same password and salt give
171
+ the same key.
172
+ - **Rate-limit `derive_key` for untrusted callers.** Each call costs 64 MiB and noticeable
173
+ CPU.
174
+ - **Rekey before ~2⁴⁸ messages per key.** That is the birthday bound for random 96-bit
175
+ nonces.
176
+ - **Decode with the same FEC strategy you encoded with.** A blob from a default Rust vault
177
+ opens with `CryptoVault.default()`; one from a `NoFec` vault needs a `NoFec` vault here.
178
+ - **Bound decrypt input from untrusted sources.** `with_max_blob_len(cap)` returns a vault
179
+ that rejects larger blobs before any decryption work. With FEC this also bounds the decode
180
+ time, which grows with the number of corrupted Viterbi sub-blocks.
181
+ - **One blob, one message.** Framing and delivery belong to the caller.
182
+
183
+ ## Errors
184
+
185
+ Every failure is a `CryptoVaultError`. The subclass names the stage that failed, and `str()`
186
+ matches the crate's `Display` for the same input, word for word:
187
+
188
+ | Class | Raised for |
189
+ |---|---|

+ | `InvalidInputError` | wrong key, salt or seed length, empty password, interleave depth out of range, oversized input, malformed blob, unknown version |
191
+ | `EncodingError` | non-canonical base64, text that is not valid UTF-8 |
192
+ | `CipherError` | a tag that does not verify (wrong key, salt or purpose, any tampering) |
193
+ | `KeyDerivationError` | Argon2id failure, or no OS entropy for a salt or DEK |
194
+ | `ErrorCorrectionError` | corruption beyond the Reed-Solomon capacity, or no ChaCha20 in the backend for the CSPRNG layer |

196
+ ## Compatibility testing
197
+
198
+ The test suite replays reference data that the crate itself produced. For `NoFec`: its
199
+ constants, data blobs up to 128 KiB, wrapped keys, Argon2id outputs, and the exact error for
200
+ 358 adversarial inputs (every single-bit flip of a blob, truncations, bad versions and
201
+ lengths, non-canonical base64, wrong keys and salts, invalid UTF-8). For the FEC layer: the
202
+ Reed-Solomon codewords and the outcome of 146 corrupted decodes, the interleaver
203
+ permutations (the CSPRNG layer included), Viterbi encodings and 26 corrupted decodes down to
204
+ the wrong bytes a heavily damaged stream decodes to, and 335 adversarial blobs under three
205
+ strategies (sampled bit flips, bursts, truncation, rewritten headers, wrong keys and salts).
206
+ In the other direction, a second test hands the crate blobs made in Python under every
207
+ strategy and checks that it opens each one. The generator lives in `interop/rust`:
208
+
209
+ ```sh
210
+ uv run pytest # full suite, Rust fixtures included
211
+ uv run pytest -m interop # Python → Rust; needs the Rust toolchain
212
+ cargo run --release --manifest-path interop/rust/Cargo.toml -- fixtures \
213
+ > tests/fixtures/rust_nofec.json # regenerate the NoFec fixtures
214
+ cargo run --release --manifest-path interop/rust/Cargo.toml -- fec-fixtures \
215
+ > tests/fixtures/rust_fec.json # regenerate the FEC fixtures
216
+ ```
217
+
218
+ ## Requirements
219
+
220
+ - **Python 3.11** or newer. Tested on Linux and Windows with 3.11 and 3.14.
221
+ - **`cryptography` 45.0.1 or newer**, linked against **OpenSSL 3.2 or newer** (AES-GCM-SIV and
222
+ Argon2id need it; the CSPRNG layer also uses its ChaCha20). Releases before 45.0.1 reject an empty plaintext, which the crate allows.
223
+ The official wheels qualify.
224
+
225
+ ## Development
226
+
227
+ ```sh
228
+ uv sync --locked
229
+ uv run ruff check . && uv run ruff format --check . && uv run mypy . && uv run pytest
230
+ uv run pip-audit
231
+ uv build
232
+ ```
233
+
234
+ ## Roadmap
235
+
236
+ 1. **`NoFec` blob format, Argon2id and key wrapping.** Implemented and cross-checked against
237
+ the crate in both directions.
238
+ 2. **The FEC strategies.** Reed-Solomon, the interleaver and Viterbi, so any `cryptovault`
239
+ blob can be read from Python. Implemented and cross-checked in both directions.
240
+ 3. **A compiled FEC accelerator.** The codecs are pure Python, and a damaged sub-block runs
241
+ the full Viterbi trellis at about 12 µs per stage: a 128 KiB blob with one flipped bit takes
242
+ about 15 s to decrypt. The plan is an optional Rust extension (PyO3) that wraps the same
243
+ `reedsolomon` and `viterbi` crates the reference crate uses, with the pure-Python codecs
244
+ kept as the fallback where no wheel exists. The crate fixtures stay as its parity check.
