AES GCM encryption and decryption in Python
Encrypt and decrypt data with AES-256-GCM using the cryptography library, including nonce generation and authenticated roundtrip verification.
import os
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead import AESGCM
def aes_gcm_demo():
plaintext = b"confidential message"
key = AESGCM.generate_key(bit_length=256)
aesgcm = AESGCM(key)
nonce = os.urandom(12)
ciphertext = aesgcm.encrypt(nonce, plaintext, None)
decrypted = aesgcm.dec…How to Mock KMS Envelope Encryption in Python
