# PySequoia

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/pysequoia.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/pysequoia/)
[![PyPI Downloads](https://img.shields.io/pypi/dm/pysequoia.svg?label=PyPI%20downloads)](
https://pypi.org/project/pysequoia/)
[![CI](https://github.com/wiktor-k/pysequoia/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/wiktor-k/pysequoia/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

This library provides [OpenPGP][] facilities in Python through the
[Sequoia PGP][SQ] library. If you need to work with encryption and
digital signatures using an [IETF standardized protocol][4880], this
package is for you!

[OpenPGP]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy#OpenPGP
[SQ]: https://sequoia-pgp.org/
[4880]: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4880

Note: This is a work in progress. The API is **not** stable!

## Building

```bash
set -euxo pipefail
python -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install maturin
maturin develop
```

## Installing

PySequoia can be installed through `pip`:

```sh
pip install pysequoia
```

Note that since `pysequoia` is implemented largely in Rust, a [Rust
toolchain][RUSTUP] is necessary for the installation to succeed.

[RUSTUP]: https://rustup.rs/

## Testing

This entire document is used for end-to-end integration tests that
exercise the package's API surface.

The tests assume that these keys and cards exist:

```bash
# generate a key with password
gpg --batch --pinentry-mode loopback --passphrase hunter22 --quick-gen-key passwd@example.com
gpg --batch --pinentry-mode loopback --passphrase hunter22 --export-secret-key passwd@example.com > passwd.pgp

# generate a key without password
gpg --batch --pinentry-mode loopback --passphrase '' --quick-gen-key no-passwd@example.com future-default
gpg --batch --pinentry-mode loopback --passphrase '' --export-secret-key no-passwd@example.com > no-passwd.pgp

# initialize dummy OpenPGP Card
sh /start.sh
echo 12345678 > pin
CARD_ADMIN="opgpcard admin --card 0000:00000000 --admin-pin pin"
$CARD_ADMIN import full-key.asc
$CARD_ADMIN name "John Doe"
$CARD_ADMIN url "https://example.com/key.pgp"
$CARD_ADMIN touch --key SIG --policy Fixed
$CARD_ADMIN touch --key DEC --policy Off
$CARD_ADMIN touch --key AUT --policy Fixed
```

## Functions

All examples assume that these basic classes have been imported:

```python
from pysequoia import Cert
```

### encrypt

Signs and encrypts a string to one or more recipients:

```python
from pysequoia import encrypt

s = Cert.from_file("passwd.pgp")
r = Cert.from_bytes(open("wiktor.asc", "rb").read())
bytes = "content to encrypt".encode("utf8")
encrypted = encrypt(signer = s.secrets.signer("hunter22"), recipients = [r], bytes = bytes).decode("utf8")
print(f"Encrypted data: {encrypted}")
```

### decrypt

Decrypts data:

```python
from pysequoia import decrypt

sender = Cert.from_file("no-passwd.pgp")
receiver = Cert.from_file("passwd.pgp")

content = "Red Green Blue"

encrypted = encrypt(signer = sender.secrets.signer(), recipients = [receiver], bytes = content.encode("utf8"))

decrypted = decrypt(decryptor = receiver.secrets.decryptor("hunter22"), bytes = encrypted)

assert content == decrypted.bytes.decode("utf8");
```

### sign

Signs data and returns armored output:

```python
from pysequoia import sign

s = Cert.from_file("signing-key.asc")
signed = sign(s.secrets.signer(), "data to be signed".encode("utf8"))
print(f"Signed data: {signed}")
assert "PGP MESSAGE" in str(signed)
```

### verify

Verifies signed data and returns verified data:

```python
from pysequoia import Store, verify

# sign some data
signing_key = Cert.from_file("signing-key.asc")
signed = sign(s.secrets.signer(), "data to be signed".encode("utf8"))

# verify the data
store = Store("/tmp/store")
store.put(signing_key)

result = verify(signed, store)
assert result.bytes.decode("utf8") == "data to be signed"
```

## Certificates

The `Cert` class represents one OpenPGP certificate (commonly called a
"public key").

This package additionally verifies the certificate using Sequoia PGP's
[`StandardPolicy`][SP]. This means that certificates using weak
cryptography can fail to load, or present a different view than in
other OpenPGP software (e.g. if a User ID uses SHA-1 in its
back-signature, it may be missing from the list of User IDs returned
by this package).

[SP]: https://docs.rs/sequoia-openpgp/latest/sequoia_openpgp/policy/struct.StandardPolicy.html

Certificates have two forms, one is ASCII armored and one is raw bytes:

```python
cert = Cert.generate("Test <test@example.com>")

print(f"Armored cert: {cert}")
print(f"Bytes of the cert: {cert.bytes()}")
```

### Parsing

Certificates can be parsed from files (`Cert.from_file`) or bytes in
memory (`Cert.from_bytes`).

```python
cert1 = Cert.generate("Test <test@example.com>")
buffer = cert1.bytes()

parsed_cert = Cert.from_bytes(buffer)
assert str(parsed_cert.user_ids[0]) == "Test <test@example.com>"
```

They can also be picked from "keyring" files (`Cert.split_file`) or
bytes in memory (`Cert.split_bytes`) which are collections of binary
certificates.

```python
cert1 = Cert.generate("Test 1 <test-1@example.com>")
cert2 = Cert.generate("Test 2 <test-2@example.com>")
cert3 = Cert.generate("Test 3 <test-3@example.com>")

buffer = cert1.bytes() + cert2.bytes() + cert3.bytes()
certs = Cert.split_bytes(buffer)
assert len(certs) == 3
```

### generate

Creates a new general purpose key with a given User ID:

```python
alice = Cert.generate("Alice <alice@example.com>")
fpr = alice.fingerprint
print(f"Generated cert with fingerprint {fpr}:\n{alice}")
```

Multiple User IDs can be passed as a list to the `generate` function:

```python
cert = Cert.generate(user_ids = ["First", "Second", "Third"])
assert len(cert.user_ids) == 3
```

Newly generated certificates are usable in both encryption and signing
contexts:

```python
alice = Cert.generate("Alice <alice@example.com>")
bob = Cert.generate("Bob <bob@example.com>")

bytes = "content to encrypt".encode("utf8")

encrypted = encrypt(signer = alice.secrets.signer(), recipients = [bob], bytes = bytes)
print(f"Encrypted data: {encrypted}")
```

### merge

Merges packets from a new version into an old version of a certificate:

```python
old = Cert.from_file("wiktor.asc")
new = Cert.from_file("wiktor-fresh.asc")
merged = old.merge(new)
print(f"Merged, updated cert: {merged}")
```

### User IDs

Listing existing User IDs:

```python
cert = Cert.from_file("wiktor.asc")
user_id = cert.user_ids[0]
assert str(user_id).startswith("Wiktor Kwapisiewicz")
```

Adding new User IDs:

```python
cert = Cert.generate("Alice <alice@example.com>")
assert len(cert.user_ids) == 1;

cert = cert.add_user_id(value = "Alice <alice@company.invalid>", certifier = cert.secrets.certifier())

assert len(cert.user_ids) == 2;
```

Revoking User IDs:

```python
cert = Cert.generate("Bob <bob@example.com>")

cert = cert.add_user_id(value = "Bob <bob@company.invalid>", certifier = cert.secrets.certifier())
assert len(cert.user_ids) == 2

# create User ID revocation
revocation = cert.revoke_user_id(user_id = cert.user_ids[1], certifier = cert.secrets.certifier())

# merge the revocation with the cert
cert = Cert.from_bytes(cert.bytes() + revocation.bytes())
assert len(cert.user_ids) == 1
```

### Notations

Notations are small pieces of data that can be attached to signatures (and, indirectly, to User IDs).

The following example reads and displays a [Keyoxide][KX] proof URI:

[KX]: https://keyoxide.org/

```python
cert = Cert.from_file("wiktor.asc")
user_id = cert.user_ids[0]
notation = user_id.notations[0]

assert notation.key == "proof@metacode.biz";
assert notation.value == "dns:metacode.biz?type=TXT";
```

Notations can also be added:

```python
from pysequoia import Notation

cert = Cert.from_file("signing-key.asc")

# No notations initially
assert len(cert.user_ids[0].notations) == 0;

cert = cert.set_notations(cert.secrets.certifier(), [Notation("proof@metacode.biz", "dns:metacode.biz")])

# Has one notation now
print(str(cert.user_ids[0].notations))
assert len(cert.user_ids[0].notations) == 1;

# Check the notation data
notation = cert.user_ids[0].notations[0]

assert notation.key == "proof@metacode.biz";
assert notation.value == "dns:metacode.biz";
```

### Key expiration

Certs have an `expiration` getter for retrieving the current key
expiry time:

```python
cert = Cert.from_file("signing-key.asc")

# Cert does not have any expiration date:
assert cert.expiration is None

cert = Cert.from_file("wiktor.asc")
# Cert expires on New Year's Eve
assert str(cert.expiration) == "2022-12-31 12:00:02+00:00"
```

Key expiration can also be adjusted with `set_expiration`:

```python
from datetime import datetime

cert = Cert.from_file("signing-key.asc")

# Cert does not have any expiration date:
assert cert.expiration is None

# Set the expiration to some specified point in time
expiration = datetime.fromisoformat("2021-11-04T00:05:23+00:00")
cert = cert.set_expiration(expiration = expiration, certifier = cert.secrets.certifier())
assert str(cert.expiration) == "2021-11-04 00:05:23+00:00"
```

### Key revocation

Certs can be revoked. While [expiration makes the key unusable
temporarily][EXP] to encourage the user to refresh a copy revocation is
irreversible.

[EXP]: https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2018/08/13/openpgp-key-expiration-is-not-a-security-measure/

```python
cert = Cert.generate("Test Revocation <revoke@example.com>")
revocation = cert.revoke(certifier = cert.secrets.certifier())

# creating revocation signature does not revoke the key
assert not cert.is_revoked

# importing revocation signature marks the key as revoked
revoked_cert = Cert.from_bytes(cert.bytes() + revocation.bytes())
assert revoked_cert.is_revoked
```

## Secret keys

Certificates generated through `Cert.generate()` contain secret keys
and can be used for signing and decryption.

To avoid accidental leakage secret keys are never directly printed
when the Cert is written to a string. To enable this behavior use
`Cert.secrets`. `secrets` returns `None` on certificates which do
not contain any secret key material ("public keys").

```python
c = Cert.generate("Testing key <test@example.com>")
assert c.has_secret_keys

# by default only public parts are exported
public_parts = Cert.from_bytes(f"{c}".encode("utf8"))
assert not public_parts.has_secret_keys
assert public_parts.secrets is None

# to export secret parts use the following:
private_parts = Cert.from_bytes(f"{c.secrets}".encode("utf8"))
assert private_parts.has_secret_keys
```

## Certificate management

### CertD integration

This library exposes [OpenPGP Certificate Directory][CERT-D]
integration, which allows storing and retrieving OpenPGP certificates
in a persistent way directly in the file system.

Note that this will *not* allow you to read GnuPG-specific key
directories. Cert-D [does not allow certificate removal][NO-REMOV].

[CERT-D]: https://sequoia-pgp.gitlab.io/pgp-cert-d/
[NO-REMOV]: https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/pgp-cert-d/-/issues/33

```python
from pysequoia import Store

cert = Cert.from_file("wiktor.asc")
s = Store("/tmp/store")
s.put(cert)
assert s.get(cert.fingerprint) != None
```

The certificate is now stored in the given directory and can be
retrieved later by its fingerprint:

```python
s = Store("/tmp/store")
assert s.get("653909a2f0e37c106f5faf546c8857e0d8e8f074") != None
```

## OpenPGP Cards

There's an experimental feature allowing communication with OpenPGP
Cards (like YubiKey or Nitrokey).

```python
from pysequoia import Card

# enumerate all cards
all = Card.all()

# open card by card ident
card = Card.open("0000:00000000")

print(f"Card ident: {card.ident}")
assert card.cardholder == "John Doe"
assert card.cert_url == "https://example.com/key.pgp"
```

Cards provide `keys` property that can be used to see which keys are imported
on the card:

```python
keys = card.keys
print(f"Keys: {keys}")
assert len(keys) == 3

assert keys[0].fingerprint == "ddc3e03c91fb52ca2d95c2444566f2743ed5f382"
assert "sign" in keys[0].usage
assert keys[0].touch_required

assert keys[1].fingerprint == "689e152a7420be13dcaf2c142ac27adc1db9395e"
assert "decrypt" in keys[1].usage
assert not keys[1].touch_required

assert keys[2].fingerprint == "731fbca93ce9821347bf8e696444723371d3c650"
assert "authenticate" in keys[2].usage
assert keys[2].touch_required
```


Cards can be used for signing data:

```python
signer = card.signer("123456")

signed = sign(signer, "data to be signed".encode("utf8"))
print(f"Signed data: {signed}")
```

As well as for decryption:

```python
decryptor = card.decryptor("123456")

sender = Cert.from_file("passwd.pgp")
receiver = Cert.from_file("full-key.asc")

content = "Red Green Blue"

encrypted = encrypt(signer = sender.secrets.signer("hunter22"), recipients = [receiver], bytes = content.encode("utf8"))

print(f"Encrypted data: {encrypted}")

decrypted = decrypt(decryptor = decryptor, bytes = encrypted)

assert content == decrypted.bytes.decode("utf8");
```

Note that while this package allows using cards for signing and
decryption, the provisioning process is not supported.  [OpenPGP card
tools][] can be used to initialize the card.
