Ciphertext Ecosystem Python Models

This dependency defines the models for the ciphertext ecosystem, used for building tools that will help solve unsolved ciphers.

The model is a generated model using Protobuf.

Usage

First, install the package with pip install ctes-models-py.

Example usage of the models:

import ctes_models_py.model as ct

b = bytes.fromhex('aa bc de ff') # Convert hex to bytes
my_ct_encoding = ct.EncodingMetadata(encoding=ct.Encoding.BASE_CONVERSION, base=16)
my_ct_metadata = ct.CiphertextMetadata(type='', encoding=my_ct_encoding)
my_ct = ct.Ciphertext(bytes=b, metadata=my_ct_metadata)
print(my_ct) # Ciphertext bytes
print(my_ct.bytes.hex(' ')) # Ciphertext converted back to hex

Generating the model

Requires installing the Protoc CLI.

Run . ./generate.sh to generate the latest version of the model.

Development

Activate virtual environment:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Build:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade build
python3 -m build
