pycryptodome 3.1

Cryptographic library for Python

PyCryptodome

PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic primitives.

It supports Python 2.4 or newer, all Python 3 versions and PyPy.

PyCryptodome is a fork of PyCrypto. It brings the following enhancements with respect to the last official version of PyCrypto (2.6.1):

• Authenticated encryption modes (GCM, CCM, EAX, SIV)

• Accelerated AES on Intel platforms via AES-NI

• First class support for PyPy

• SHA-3 hash algorithm

• Salsa20 stream cipher

• scrypt and HKDF

• Deterministic 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)

• Simplified install process, including better support for Windows

• Cleaner RSA and DSA key generation (largely based on FIPS 186-4)

• Major clean ups and simplification of the code base
