OpenSSL in Python: Secure File With Keys and Certificates

Guard The Cluster

Set Up Trusted Group

_

1. Key and Certificate Creation: The process illustrates by creating RSA key pairs and X.509 certificates for each user (3 recipients and 1 self).
2. Symmetric Key Generation: A random AES symmetric key is generated for encrypting a file.
2. File Encryption: The file contents are encrypted using the generated symmetric key.
3. Symmetric Key Encryption: Each user’s symmetric key is encrypted with their public certificate.
4. File Signing: The file is signed using the self-certificate's private key.
5. Signature Verification: Each user verifies the file's signature using the sender's public key.
6. Key Decryption: Each user decrypts the symmetric key using their private key.
7. File Decryption: Each user decrypts the encrypted file using the decrypted symmetric key and prints the original message.
