Cryptography

The Wolfram Language includes built-in functions for both symmetric (private-key) and asymmetric (public-key) cryptography, including RSA, elliptic curve and other methods.

Encryption & Decryption

Encrypt — encrypt any expression with symmetric or asymmetric encryption

Decrypt — decrypt an encrypted object or byte array

Representation of Encrypted Data

EncryptedObject — symbolic representation of encrypted data and related metadata

ByteArray — raw bytes of ciphertext etc.

File Encryption

EncryptFile, DecryptFile — encrypt, decrypt files and cloud objects

Encryption System Specification

SymmetricKey — key giving complete information for a symmetric encryption system

PublicKey — public key for an asymmetric (public-key) encryption system

PrivateKey — private key for an asymmetric (public-key) encryption system

Key Generation

GenerateSymmetricKey — generate a key randomly or from a password

GenerateAsymmetricKeyPair — generate random public and private keys

Key Derivation

GenerateDerivedKey — derive a key from a password (using scrypt, etc.)

VerifyDerivedKey — verify a password from a derived key

DerivedKey — representation of a derived key

Key Management

Import, ImportString — import keys from "PEM" files

SecurityCertificate — representation of a public-key security certificate

Digital Signatures

GenerateDigitalSignature — generate a digital signature using a private key

VerifyDigitalSignature — verify a digital signature using a public key

DigitalSignature — symbolic representation of a digital signature

Hash — compute a wide range of cryptographic hashes

GenerateFileSignature ▪ VerifyFileSignature ▪ FileHash

System Credential Storage

SystemCredential — store passwords in your operating system's secure credential store

$SystemCredentialStore — the currently active credential store

SystemCredentialData ▪ SystemCredentialKeys ▪ SystemCredentialKey

$DefaultSystemCredentialStore ▪ SystemCredentialStoreObject
