pycryptodome was chosen since it is a fork of popular PyCrypto and a drop in replacement. It does not expose the module as Cryptodome.Cipher but as Crypto.Cipher.

Hi @oleksiy.bondarenko1,

Can you please elaborate your question - why do you need CCM? Both the News and Research alerts are encrypted using AES-GCM. The tutorial and the comment in the sample file state that it depends on pycryptodome module for decryption.

Does that not work? Thanks.

Indeed

The error I get under default anaconda-packaged pycrypto 2.6.1 , on both linux and windows, since late 2019, is

AttributeError: module 'Crypto.Cipher.AES' has no attribute 'MODE_GCM'

from Crypto.Cipher import AES (this import is used in your sample code)

dir(AES)

Out[53]:

['AESCipher',

'MODE_CBC',

'MODE_CFB',

'MODE_CTR',

'MODE_ECB',

'MODE_OFB',

'MODE_OPENPGP',

'MODE_PGP',

'_AES',

...

So I need to pip install pycryptodome (or pycryptodomex)

from Cryptodome.Cipher import AES (need to change the import to this, i.e. Cryptodome)

dir(AES)

Out[55]:

['MODE_CBC',

'MODE_CCM',

'MODE_CFB',

'MODE_CTR',

'MODE_EAX',

'MODE_ECB',

'MODE_GCM',

...

Well, the tutorial and the sample explicitly state that it uses pycryptodome.

Then you can be as explicit, and have

from Cryptodome.Cipher import AES (rather than from Crypto.Cipher import AES )
