You can run a few tests after you installed the python package (and its dependencies). We provide a testsuite simulating, for example, that Bob encrypts a randomly-generated file for Alice and Alice decrypts it. We use BATS to run the testsuite (so… first install it).

git clone https://github.com/EGA-archive/crypt4gh
pip install -r crypt4gh/requirements.txt
bats crypt4gh/tests

which should output, something along those lines (yes, the testsuite might grow):

✓ Bob sends a secret (random) 10MB file to Alice
✓ Bob sends the testfile secretly to Alice
✓ Bob encrypts the testfile for himself and reencrypts it for Alice
✓ Bob sends only the Bs from the testfile secretly to Alice
✓ Bob sends one A, all Bs, one C, from the testfile secretly to Alice
✓ Bob rearranges the encrypted testfile to send one A, all Bs, one C, to Alice
✓ Bob sends only the Bs from the testfile secretly to Alice
✓ Bob sends one A, all Bs, one C, from the testfile secretly to Alice
✓ Bob rearranges the encrypted testfile to send one A, all Bs, one C, to Alice
