Getting Exception:TypeError: new() missing 1 required positional argument: 'mode'
I want to use AES encryption to encrypt my data I have done it before but in my laptop the method is not working and giving me same error is there any way to fix it ? Here is the code :
from Crypto.Cipher import AES def paddedKey(key): while len(key)%8!=0: key +=' ' return key def paddingText(text): while len(text)%16!=0: text +=' ' return text data = paddingText(input('Enter text to encrypt - ')) key = paddedKey(input('Enter key between 16-32 charachters - ')) if(len(key)<=16 & len(key)>=32): print('Key must me between 16 and 32 charachters') cipher = AES.new(key) ciphertext = cipher.encrypt(data) # print(ciphertext) # print(ciphertext.decode('cp855')) print('Encrypted text = ',ciphertext) But this code is giving me error : Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\shati\Desktop\Python\Research\AES_Extended.py", line 18, in cipher = AES.new(key) TypeError: new() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘mode’
I am using pythone version : Python 3.6.8
Pip version: pip 20.1.1
PycryptoDome version : pycryptodome 3.9.8
It’s obvious from error, the new method needs two parameters.
Check this Encrypt & Decrypt using PyCrypto AES 256
You have to pass the mode parameter to the AES.new function.
