Callbacks written in Python
Extensive error-handling mechanism, mirroring OpenSSL’s error codes

… and much more.

You can find more information in the documentation. Development takes place on GitHub.

Release Information

17.5.0 (2017-11-30)

Backward-incompatible changes:

The minimum cryptography version is now 2.1.4.

Deprecations:

none

Changes:

Fixed a potential use-after-free in the verify callback and resolved a memory leak when loading PKCS12 files with cacerts. #723
Added Connection.export_keying_material for RFC 5705 compatible export of keying material. #725

17.4.0 (2017-11-21)

Backward-incompatible changes:

none

Deprecations:

none

Changes:

Re-added a subset of the OpenSSL.rand module. This subset allows conscientious users to reseed the OpenSSL CSPRNG after fork. #708
Corrected a use-after-free when reusing an issuer or subject from an X509 object after the underlying object has been mutated. #709

17.3.0 (2017-09-14)

Backward-incompatible changes:

Dropped support for Python 3.3. #677
Removed the deprecated OpenSSL.rand module. This is being done ahead of our normal deprecation schedule due to its lack of use and the fact that it was becoming a maintenance burden. os.urandom() should be used instead. #675

Deprecations:

Deprecated OpenSSL.tsafe. #673

Changes:

Fixed a memory leak in OpenSSL.crypto.CRL. #690
Fixed a memory leak when verifying certificates with OpenSSL.crypto.X509StoreContext. #691
