__init__(protected: Optional[Dict[int, Any]] = None, unprotected: Optional[Dict[int, Any]] = None, ciphertext: bytes = b'', recipients: List[Any] = [], key_ops: List[int] = [], key: bytes = b'')[source]

Constructor.

Parameters
  • protected (Optional[Dict[int, Any]]) – Parameters that are to be cryptographically protected.

  • unprotected (Optional[Dict[int, Any]]) – Parameters that are not cryptographically protected.

  • ciphertext – A ciphertext encoded as bytes.

  • recipients – A list of recipient information structures.

  • key_ops – A list of operations that the key is to be used for.

  • key – A body of the key as bytes.

property key: bytes
