Here is my implementation and works for me with some fixes and enhances the alignment of the key and secret phrase with 32 bytes and iv to 16 bytes:
import base64 import hashlib from Crypto import Random from Crypto.Cipher import AES class AESCipher(object): def __init__(self, key): self.bs = AES.block_size self.key = hashlib.sha256(key.encode()).digest() def encrypt(self, raw): raw = self._pad(raw) iv = Random.new().read(AES.block_size) cipher = AES.new(self.key, AES.MODE_CBC, iv) return base64.b64encode(iv + cipher.encrypt(raw.encode())) def decrypt(self, enc): enc = base64.b64decode(enc) iv = enc[:AES.block_size] cipher = AES.new(self.key, AES.MODE_CBC, iv) return self._unpad(cipher.decrypt(enc[AES.block_size:])).decode('utf-8') def _pad(self, s): return s + (self.bs - len(s) % self.bs) * chr(self.bs - len(s) % self.bs) @staticmethod def _unpad(s): return s[:-ord(s[len(s)-1:])]
