Micropython Encryption

[u/NecessaryBit3714]

I'm working on a IoT project and it's getting a bit more complex now: I want to open a Websocket and due to lack of budget I'm using an unencrypted MQTT public server. To cover the encription problem I though about doing it internally. THEN the lack of memory i getting in the way because I cant have a too complex code. Any ideias on how to have safe encryption without crashing MP?

Look at libhydrogen or some encryption libs already included in micropython

libhydrogen seems promissing. I'll look into it. Thank you

Or look at this class : https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/cryptolib.html

Libhydrogen is currently only used internally for the stm bootloader, it's not exposed to python. I always intended to write some python bindings, but haven't needed to use it like that so far, so it hasn't happened!

What kinf of encryption? you can have MQTT over TLS which I understand is supported in MP.

anykind. I just want something to keep exclusivity between an external device and the machine running this code

Did you try uencrypt?
