PyTomCrypt 0.8.0

Python+Cython wrapper around LibTomCrypt

This package is a Python 2/3 wrapper around LibTomCrypt. The API is designed to be conceptually similar to LibTomCrypt, but to be as “Pythonic” as possible.

[Read the Docs](http://mikeboers.github.io/PyTomCrypt/), and good luck!

Limitations

PyTomCrypt does not yet wrap the entirety of LibTomCrypt; this is planned in the future. Currently, this package provides:

• symmetric ciphers

  • no CTR mode flags (page 38 of ltc PDF)

  • incomplete auth modes (EAX, but no OCB, CCM, GCM, etc.)

• hashes

• MACs

• pseudo random number generators

• pkcs5

• RSA private/public keys

  • no separate padding functions

• incomplete ECC

• no DSA

Installation

To get the latest stable release (use easy_install if you don’t have pip):

$ pip install PyTomCrypt

If you already have the PyPi source distribution, you only need run:

$ python setup.py install

If you have the original source (ie. from GitHub):

# Install “mako” and “cython”; they are required to generate the C source of the primary module. $ pip install mako cython

# Grab libtomcrypt and libtommath. $ git submodule init $ git submodule update

# Preprocess the Cython sources. $ make sources

# Build the package. $ python setup.py build

# Install the module. $ python setup.py install
