From Accessibility to Zope

In a previous post I discussed the method I used to integrate Paypal’s Encrypted Web Payments in generic SSL terms I hoped would make it easy to implement from scratch in any language. I’ve had a request from Ross Poulton to share the Python code that makes it work using the M2Crypto wrapper. So, here it is:

from M2Crypto import BIO, SMIME, X509
from django.conf import settings

class PaypalOrder(dict):
        """Acts as a dictionary which can be encrypted to Paypal's EWP service"""
        def __init__(self):
                dict.__init__(self)
                self['cert_id']=settings.MY_CERT_ID

        def setNotifyURL(self, notify_url):
                self['notify_url']=notify_url

        # snip more wrapper functions

        def plaintext(self):
                """The plaintext for the cryptography operation."""
                s=''
                for k in self:
                        s+=u'%s=%s\n'%(k,self[k])
                return s.encode('utf-8')

        __str__=plaintext

        def encrypt(self):
                """Return the contents of this order, encrypted to Paypal's
                certificate and signed using the private key
                configured in the Django settings."""

                # Instantiate an SMIME object.
                s = SMIME.SMIME()

                # Load signer's key and cert. Sign the buffer.
                s.load_key_bio(BIO.openfile(settings.MY_KEYPAIR), BIO.openfile(settings.MY_CERT))

                p7 = s.sign(BIO.MemoryBuffer(self.plaintext()), flags=SMIME.PKCS7_BINARY)

                # Load target cert to encrypt the signed message to.
                x509 = X509.load_cert_bio(BIO.openfile(settings.PAYPAL_CERT))
                sk = X509.X509_Stack()
                sk.push(x509)
                s.set_x509_stack(sk)

                # Set cipher: 3-key triple-DES in CBC mode.
                s.set_cipher(SMIME.Cipher('des_ede3_cbc'))

                # Create a temporary buffer.
                tmp = BIO.MemoryBuffer()

                # Write the signed message into the temporary buffer.
                p7.write_der(tmp)

                # Encrypt the temporary buffer.
                p7 = s.encrypt(tmp, flags=SMIME.PKCS7_BINARY)

                # Output p7 in mail-friendly format.
                out = BIO.MemoryBuffer()
                p7.write(out)

                return out.read()

The settings required are as follows:

MY_KEYPAIR='keys/keypair.pem'    #path to keypair in PEM format
MY_CERT='keys/merchant.crt'    #path to merchant certificate
MY_CERT_ID='ASDF12345'    # code which Paypal assign to the certificate when you upload it
PAYPAL_CERT='keys/paypal.crt'    #path to Paypal's own certificate
