This is an exercise in secure symmetric-key encryption, implemented in purePython (only built-in libraries used), expanded from Bo Zhu's (http://about.bozhu.me)AES-128 implementation at https://github.com/bozhu/AES-Python

1. Generating a CSR using cPanel. On the next page, locate the option titled Generate a New Certificate Signing Request (CSR). If you select “Generate a New 2048-bit key”, a completely new Private Key will be generated. If the private key was generated separately, please select it from the drop-down.
2. You are taken to the Key Details screen. Add a Description. Select the User you would like to generate a key for in the dropdown. Select a level of access for this API key — Read access, Write access or Read/Write access. Select Generate API Key, and WooCommerce creates API keys for that user. Now that keys have been generated, you should see.

• AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 implementations in pure python (very slow, butworks).Results have been tested against the NIST standard (http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips197/fips-197.pdf)
• CBC mode for AES with PKCS#7 padding (now also PCBC, CFB, OFB and CTR thanks to @righthandabacus!)
• encrypt and decrypt functions for protecting arbitrary data with apassword

Note: this implementation is not resistant to side channel attacks.

Although this is an exercise, the encrypt and decrypt functions shouldprovide reasonable security to encrypted messages. It ensures the data iskept secret (using AES), blocks are encrypted together (CBC), the samemessage encrypted twice will have different ciphertexts (salt), the ciphertexthasn't been tampered with (HMAC) and the key has some defense against brute-force(PBKDF2).

An SSH key is an access credential for the SSH (secure shell) network protocol. This authenticated and encrypted secure network protocol is used for remote communication between machines on an unsecured open network. SSH is used for remote file transfer, network management, and remote operating system access.

Certificate and key file generator. The algorithm is as follows:

1. 16 random bytes of salt are extracted from the system's secure random numbergenerator (usually /dev/urandom)>

2. The given master key is stretched and expanded by PKBDF2-HMAC(SHA256) usingthe salt from 1), to generate the AES key, HMAC key and IV (initializationvector for CBC).

3. The given message is encrypted with AES-128 using the AES key and IV fromstep 2), in CBC mode and PKCS#7 padding.

4. A HMAC-SHA256 is generated from the concatenation of the salt from 1) andthe ciphertext from 3).

5. The final ciphertext is HMAC + salt + ciphertext.

Security overview:

Soleslayer Generating Checkout Request Key West

• The random salt ensures the same message will map to different ciphertexts.

• The HMAC ensures the integrity of both the entire ciphertext and the PKBDF2salt; encrypt-then-mac prevents attacks like Padding Oracle.

• Bytes from keys, iv and salt are not reused in different algorithms.

• PBKDF2 key stretching allows for relatively weak passwords to be used as AESkeys and be moderately resistant to brute-force, but sacrificing performance.
