### *class* Cryptography.WhaleSong.DHEFern(cache, nodeNickname, cLog)

[🔗 Source](https://git.utopic.work/PierMesh/piermesh/src/branch/main/Cryptography/WhaleSong.py)

#### cLog

Method reference to run.Node.cLog so we can log to the ui from here

#### loadedParams

In memory representations of cryptography parameters

* **Type:**
  dict

#### loadedKeys

In memory representations of cryptography keys

* **Type:**
  dict

#### nodeNickname

Name of node for isolating configs when running multiple nodes

* **Type:**
  str

#### cache

Daisy cache for use in storing cryptography information

* **Type:**
  Components.daisy.Cache

#### publicKey

Public key for node

#### privateKey

Private key for node

#### checkInMem(store: str, nodeID: str)

Check if parameters or keys are loaded for node of nodeID

* **Parameters:**
  **store** (*str*) – Whether to check loaded keys or parameters

#### decrypt(data, nodeID: str)

Decrypt bytes and return either str or dict (TODO: Check whether to msgpack load)

#### encrypt(data, nodeID: str, isDict: bool = True)

Do Fernet encryption

data
: Either bytes or dict to encrypt

isDict: bool
: Whether data is a dictionary

#### genKeyPair(paramsOverride=False, setSelf: bool = True)

Generate public and private keys from self.params (TODO: Gen from passed params)

paramsOverride
: False or parameters to use (TODO)

setSelf: bool
: Whether to set self.privateKey and self.publicKey

#### genParams()

Generate Diffie Hellman parameters

#### getParamsBytes()

Get bytes encoded from self.parameters (TODO: Encode from store)

#### getRecord(store: str, key: str)

Get record from store: store with key: key

#### getSalt()

Get random salt

#### initStore(store: str)

Initialize store: store

#### keyDerive(pubKey: bytes, salt: bytes, nodeID: str, params: bytes)

Derive shared key using Diffie Hellman

pubKey: bytes
: Public key

nodeID: str
: PierMesh node ID

params: bytes
: Encryption parameters

#### loadParamBytes(pemBytes: bytes)

Load parameters to self.params from given bytes (TODO: Load from store)

#### loadRecordToMem(store: str, nodeID: str)

Load record of nodeID from store to either keys or pameters
