# Python-RSA has been archived
Hi folks,
I'm Sybren, one of the original authors and the maintainer of this project.
Unfortunately I don't have the time and brain space left to properly maintain
Python-RSA. As you can see from the lack of activity on the open issues, and the
lack of commits, that has been the case for a while now.
As Python-RSA is included as a dependency in quite a few high-profile projects,
I don't feel comfortable handing over the project to someone else. It's just too
big of a risk.
Thanks for having used this little library for so long, and in so many projects.
I truely didn't expect that when I started working on it. Also big thanks to all
the people helping out and improving the project.
There are improvements that haven't made it into a new release. As I said, I
don't have the time and the brain space to really investigate and oversee the
security impact of all those changes. It's not a decision I've made lightly.
So that's it. If you want to keep the project alive, please fork it. Give it the
love it deserves, investigate those yet-unreleased improvements, and have a
project that's then already better than how I left this one.
Cheers,
Sybren

# Pure Python RSA implementation
[](https://pypi.org/project/rsa/)
[](https://travis-ci.org/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa)

[Python-RSA](https://stuvel.eu/rsa) is a pure-Python RSA implementation. It supports
encryption and decryption, signing and verifying signatures, and key
generation according to PKCS#1 version 1.5. It can be used as a Python
library as well as on the commandline. The code was mostly written by
Sybren A. Stüvel.
Documentation can be found at the [Python-RSA homepage](https://stuvel.eu/rsa). For all changes, check [the changelog](https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
Download and install using:
pip install rsa
or download it from the [Python Package Index](https://pypi.org/project/rsa/).
The source code is maintained at [GitHub](https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa/) and is

## Security
Because of how Python internally stores numbers, it is very hard (if not impossible) to make a pure-Python program secure against timing attacks. This library is no exception, so use it with care. See https://securitypitfalls.wordpress.com/2018/08/03/constant-time-compare-in-python/ for more info.
## Setup of Development Environment
```
python3 -m venv .venv
. ./.venv/bin/activate
pip install poetry
poetry install
```
## Publishing a New Release
Since this project is considered critical on the Python Package Index,
two-factor authentication is required. For uploading packages to PyPi, an API
key is required; username+password will not work.
First, generate an API token at https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/. Then,
use this token when publishing instead of your username and password.
As username, use `__token__`.
As password, use the token itself, including the `pypi-` prefix.
See https://pypi.org/help/#apitoken for help using API tokens to publish. This
is what I have in `~/.pypirc`:
```
[distutils]
index-servers =
rsa
# Use `twine upload -r rsa` to upload with this token.
[rsa]
repository = https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
username = __token__
password = pypi-token
```
```
. ./.venv/bin/activate
pip install twine
poetry build
twine check dist/rsa-4.9.1.tar.gz dist/rsa-4.9.1-*.whl
twine upload -r rsa dist/rsa-4.9.1.tar.gz dist/rsa-4.9.1-*.whl
```
The `pip install twine` is necessary as Python-RSA requires Python >= 3.6, and
Twine requires at least version 3.7. This means Poetry refuses to add it as
dependency.
