Encrypt files?
Hello,
What would it take for the library to also support encryption of docx files? :)
Hi, to support encryption we need to implement the very reverse of some functions in /format/* and /method/*. I guess that it is not so difficult in the case of OOXML documents (including .docx), but there must be some pitfalls in other cases.
I plan to support encryption in future, but the priority is low reflecting the low demand for it compared to decryption.
I would also greatly appreciate to have both decryption and encryption possibilities available in one package. OOXML files only are also fine for me.
Is anyone working on this? I have checked out mentioned repo and one of the node library xls-populate but I am not getting it that much. Any insights or specific things I can follow to implement it?
Well, in my project I was using Docker so I compiled the repo I mentioned and called it via child_process on python. Maybe you could do something similar? If you need a reference I can create a gist.
Is there any python module to encrypt files with passwords?
there is a couple I guest, like ' from cryptography.fernet import Fernet '.....but you can check my code without using modules, just the XOR (^) operator and a password,...the encryption would be strong if you use a complex password (numbers, uppercases, special symbols, etc), here: https://github.com/icodexys/S1mple-3ncryt1on/blob/main/Encrypt_files.py
I created a pull request to provide encryption support on OOXML files.
I'm pleased to share that msoffcrypto-tool now supports encryption for OOXML documents (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx), starting from version 5.3.0. This enhancement is made possible by the valuable contribution of @stephane-rouleau in PR #86.
