CRYPTOGRAPHY TOOLS 🔐

Minimalistic API tools (based on FastAPI) for hash generation and cryptography

CRYPTOGRAPHY TOOLS is an API-based minimalistic asynchronous (yeah) web application written in Python (FastAPI) for hash generation and other cryptogrphic needs.

Featues:

• Hash generation: SHA-256, SHA-512, Argon2
• base64 encoding/decoding
• Random string generation

It uses:

• Framework: FastAPI
• Data validation: pydantic
• Cryptography: base64, hashlib, secrets, argon2-cffi
• ASGI HTTP Server: Uvicorn
• Tests: pytest-asyncio, httpx

📦 Installation

1. Consider you already unpacked the app archive file. First you have to create virtual environment and activate it:

cd cryptography_tools
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate

ℹ️ NOTE: If you want to make some changes to CRYPTOGRAPHY TOOLS - make it while virtual environment is activated. Don't forget to exit virtual environment after you finish your work:

deactivate

2. Install all required modules using:

pip install -r requirements

3. Run the application with this command:

python3 main.py

⚠️ WARNING!: Do not use this command for production environment! Escpecially the with reload = True option. In addition: most likely you have to adjust the way you run the application to your needs.
