magic-wormhole is a library and command-line tool which makes it possible to _securely_ and _easily_ get arbitrary-sized files and directories (or short pieces of text) from one computer to another.

By making use of a "mailbox" server on the public internet and the SPAKE2 algorithm, short human-pronouncable codes are used to obtain an end-to-end encrypted connection (peer-to-peer in favourable network conditions).
This server cannot see plaintext and could make a single attempt to subvert a connection (the same as any other attacker).

More details are provided in the documentation:

RELEASE 0.13.0
--------------

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/magic-wormhole/0.13.0

New in this release:

* Python 2.7 support is dropped (#457)
* Python 3.5 and 3.6 are past their EOL date and support is dropped (#448)
* SECURITY: Replace "weird" characters in receiver's display (#476)
* SECURITY: all past binary signatures are now in Git
* Use the HKDF primitive from "cryptography" (#462)
* `wormhole receive` now accepts `--allocate-code` so that a sender can
use `--code` to send them a file (#450)
* Stream to disk after 10MB on directory receive (#447)
* Handle SSH keys with comments properly (#434)
* Properly parse IPv6 Transit address (#461)

Also of interest to developers in this release are a few changes to
the experimental Dilation implementation and description; some
documentation cleanups; dropping of dependencies; and some test
cleanups. The Dilation changes properly send `use-version` and split
messages over Noise-sized chunks more seamlessly (allowing the
specified 4-byte maximum message size at the application layer).

For packagers: PyPI has stopped serving detached signature files.
Going forward, all signatures will be committed to Git (in the
signatures/ subdirectory). All available signatures from PyPI for
historic releases have been added here too.

Thanks to the many contributors of bug-fixes, patches, and other help
