Boolean

class usencrypt.cipher.Boolean(value=None, *args, **kwargs)

Ciphertext logical variable, stored as a 64-bit boolean.

Parameters

• value (bool) – The boolean to be encrypted. Defaults to None.

• hexstr (str) – The hexadecimal representation of the encrypted boolean object. Defaults to None.

Note

• 63 of the 64 bits are filled with rubbish.

• The value is represented as type b64, and it should be a boolean, a bit, or an instance of usencrypt.cipher.Boolean itself or its internal storage type. In those last cases, it’s returned unchanged.

• Further, type conversion is performed on \(\{0, 1\}\), but not on None.

• usencrypt.cipher.String

Examples

To create an encrypted boolean object from a non-encrypted boolean, we can do the following:

>>> import usencrypt as ue
>>> ue_x = ue.cipher.Boolean(value=True)
>>> ue_x
(0x7f843a4af730) Boolean: 0xc9b43bd13c6aba5c49c433007e42b001e249fd569be54bcb119239c1d54d08a8
>>> ue.decrypt(ue_x)
True

Similarly, we can encrypt a non-encrypted boolean directly using the usencrypt.encrypt() function:

>>> import usencrypt as ue
>>> ue_x = ue.encrypt(True, dtype=bool)
>>> ue_x
(0x7f843a4af730) Boolean: 0xc9b43bd13c6aba5c49c433007e42b001e249fd569be54bcb119239c1d54d08a8
>>> ue.decrypt(ue_x)
True

Finally, we can also create an encrypted boolean object directly from a hexadecimal string:

>>> import usencrypt as ue
>>> ue_x = ue.cipher.Boolean(hexstr='0xc9b43bd13c6aba5c49c433007e42b001e249fd569be54bcb119239c1d54d08a8')
>>> ue_x
(0x7f843a4af730) Boolean: 0xc9b43bd13c6aba5c49c433007e42b001e249fd569be54bcb119239c1d54d08a8
>>> ue.decrypt(ue_x)
True

Methods

Boolean.decrypt	Decrypts the encrypted object \(E(x)\), returning the original non-encrypted \(x\).
Boolean.encrypt_other	Encrypts \(x\) dynamically with the same dtype as the encrypted object \(E(x)\).
