Hi,
I suspect this is a bug with AMK's Crypto package from http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto , but want to check to see if I'm being dumb before posting a bug report. I'm looking at using this library and to familiarise myself writing small tests with each of the ciphers. When I hit Crypto.Cipher.ARC4 I've found that I can't get it to decode what it encodes. This might be a case of PEBKAC, but I'm trying the following: >>> from Crypto.Cipher import ARC4 as cipher >>> key = "........" >>> obj = cipher.new(key) >>> obj.encrypt("This is some random text") ')f\xd4\xf6\xa6Lm\x9a%}\x8a\x95\x8ef\x00\xd6:\x12\x00!\xf3k\xafX' >>> X=_ >>> X ')f\xd4\xf6\xa6Lm\x9a%}\x8a\x95\x8ef\x00\xd6:\x12\x00!\xf3k\xafX' >>> obj.decrypt(X) '\x87\xe1\x83\xc1\x93\xdb\xed\x93U\xe4_\x92}\x9f\xdb\x84Y\xa3\xd4b\x9eHu~' Clearly this decode doesn't match the encode. Me being dumb or bug?
