Cryptography should be left to cryptography professionals. Until this library has been properly audited by such professionals, it should be deemed unfit for any use.
Particularly we use the asymmetric encryption primitives of cryptography.hazmat.
Consider a system that has users called Alice, Bob and Carol. Alice wants to save confidential_data: bytes so that it can later be opened by themself and Bob only, but not Carol, let alone Malice.
Let Alice and Bob have private keys encrypted with their login passwords. Now Alice constructs a KeySet containing the public keys of themself and Bob, and then does key_set.encrypt(confidential_data).
What is returned is an EncryptedValue, containing confidential_data encrypted using a symmetrical encryption key that is in turn encrypted using asymmetrical encryption with both Alice's and Bob's keys.
For a complete example, see tests/test_keyset.py.
