Need to encrypt some text with a password or private key in Python? You certainly came to the right place. AES-256 is a solid symmetric cipher that is commonly used to encrypt data for oneself.

  • The simplest way to generate a key pair is to run ssh-keygen without arguments. In this case, it will prompt for the file in which to store keys. Here's an example: klar (11:39) ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair.

This only works because the 'mysecretpassword' is 16 bytes. If it were a different (not dividable by 16) amount of bytes you'd get
'ValueError: AES key must be either 16, 24, or 32 bytes long'
To avoid this the key may be hashed:
self.key = hashlib.sha256(key.encode('utf-8')).digest()

Very minor changes to make it python 3 compatible https://gist.github.com/mguezuraga/257a662a51dcde53a267e838e4d387cd

lambda removed(pep 8 support)
ord removed(python 3 support)

In Python 3 using the modifications of Craz1k0ek it still doesn't work with Unicode. For example the input Hello, 你好 raises ValueError: Input strings must be a multiple of 16 in length

Python Generate Table

i think this is aes 128, we have a standard blocksize of 16 bytes (128bit)
