This example re-creates the first encryption example except it
|
||||||
|
uses the same =encrypt= method used in the subsequent examples
|
||||||
|
instead of the =op_encrypt= method. This means that, unlike the
|
||||||
|
=op_encrypt= method, it /must/ use byte literal input data.

#+begin_src python
|
||||||
|
import gpg
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rkey = "0x12345678DEADBEEF"
|
||||||
|
text = b"""Some text to test with.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since the text in this case must be bytes, it is most likely that
|
||||||
|
the input form will be a separate file which is opened with "rb"
|
||||||
|
as this is the simplest method of obtaining the correct data
|
||||||
|
format.

rpattern = list(c.keylist(pattern=rkey, secret=False))
|
||||||

logrus = []
|
||||||

for i in range(len(rpattern)):
|

if rpattern[i].can_encrypt == 1:
|
||||||

logrus.append(rpattern[i])
|

|

|
cipher = c.encrypt(text, recipients=logrus, sign=False, always_trust=True)
|

|

afile = open("secret_plans.txt.asc", "wb")

|
With one or two exceptions, this method will probably prove to be
|
||||||
|
easier to implement than the first method and thus it is the
|
||||||
|
recommended encryption method. Though it is even more likely to
|
||||||
|
be used like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_src python
|
||||||
|
import gpg
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rkey = "0x12345678DEADBEEF"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
afile = open("secret_plans.txt", "rb")
|
||||||
|
text = afile.read()
|
||||||
|
afile.close()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c = gpg.Context(armor=True)
|
||||||
|
rpattern = list(c.keylist(pattern=rkey, secret=False))
|
||||||
|
logrus = []
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
for i in range(len(rpattern)):
|
||||||
|
if rpattern[i].can_encrypt == 1:
|
||||||
|
logrus.append(rpattern[i])
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cipher = c.encrypt(text, recipients=logrus, sign=False, always_trust=True)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
afile = open("secret_plans.txt.asc", "wb")
|
||||||
|
afile.write(cipher[0])
|
||||||
|
afile.close()
|
