License : BSD and Public Domain
Description : PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic
: primitives. It's a fork of PyCrypto. It brings several enhancements with respect
: to the last official version of PyCrypto (2.6.1), for instance:
:
: * Authenticated encryption modes (GCM, CCM, EAX, SIV, OCB)
: * Accelerated AES on Intel platforms via AES-NI
: * Elliptic curves cryptography (NIST P-256 curve only)
: * Better and more compact API (nonce and iv attributes for ciphers, automatic
: generation of random nonces and IVs, simplified CTR cipher mode, and more)
: * SHA-3 (including SHAKE XOFs) and BLAKE2 hash algorithms
: * Salsa20 and ChaCha20 stream ciphers
: * scrypt and HKDF
: * Deterministic (EC)DSA
: * Password-protected PKCS#8 key containers
: * Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme
: * Random numbers get sourced directly from the OS (and not from a CSPRNG in
: userspace)
: * Cleaner RSA and DSA key generation (largely based on FIPS 186-4)
: * Major clean ups and simplification of the code base
:
: PyCryptodome is not a wrapper to a separate C library like OpenSSL. To the
: largest possible extent, algorithms are implemented in pure Python. Only the
: pieces that are extremely critical to performance (e.g. block ciphers) are
: implemented as C extensions.
:
: Note: all modules are installed under the Cryptodome package to avoid conflicts
: with the PyCrypto library.
