python39-pycryptodomex - A self-contained cryptographic library for Python
- 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.
