Install

This project currently requires a fork of pyca/cryptography due to the following related issues:

• #1648: decouple hashing process from signature generation / verification

• #1579: Support asymmetric signing with pre-computed digest

Instructions

First, install this fork of cryptography directly from github.

$ pip install git+https://github.com/samstav/cryptography.git@rsa-bypass-hash-on-signer

If you don’t do this first, you’d have to use the (deprecated, scheduled for removal) --process-dependency-links option through pip, since pip no longer respects dependency links by default (as of pip 1.5).

$ pip install --process-dependency-links requests-chef
