Apple Encrypted Archive (AEA) is a proprietary archive format that supports compression, encryption and signatures. It is designed such that the decoding of large files can be parallelized across threads.

Currently, this repository provides:

• A Python library to work with AEA files in code.
• Documentation that describes the AEA file format.

Eventually, it also aims to provide:

• An open source command line tool with the same interface as the official aea tool.

This package can be installed with pip: pip install python-aea. This package uses semantic versioning.

• The AEA file format
• The classes and functions in this package
