  9. Description:
  10. PyCryptodome
  11. ============
  12. PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level
  13. cryptographic primitives.
  14. It supports Python 2.4 or newer, all Python 3 versions and PyPy.
  15. You can install it with::
  16. pip install pycryptodomex
  17. All modules are installed under the ``Cryptodome`` package.
  18. Check the pycryptodome_ project for the equivalent library that
  19. works under the ``Crypto`` package.
  20. PyCryptodome is a fork of PyCrypto. It brings several enhancements
  21. with respect to the last official version of PyCrypto (2.6.1),
  22. for instance:
  23. * Authenticated encryption modes (GCM, CCM, EAX, SIV, OCB)
  24. * Accelerated AES on Intel platforms via AES-NI
  25. * First class support for PyPy
  26. * Elliptic curves cryptography (NIST P-256 curve only)
  27. * Better and more compact API (`nonce` and `iv` attributes for ciphers,
  28. automatic generation of random nonces and IVs, simplified CTR cipher mode,
  29. and more)
  30. * SHA-3 (including SHAKE XOFs) and BLAKE2 hash algorithms
  31. * Salsa20 and ChaCha20 stream ciphers
  32. * scrypt and HKDF
  33. * Deterministic (EC)DSA
  34. * Password-protected PKCS#8 key containers
  35. * Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme
  36. * Random numbers get sourced directly from the OS (and not from a CSPRNG in userspace)
  37. * Simplified install process, including better support for Windows
  38. * Cleaner RSA and DSA key generation (largely based on FIPS 186-4)
  39. * Major clean ups and simplification of the code base
  40. PyCryptodome is not a wrapper to a separate C library like *OpenSSL*.
  41. To the largest possible extent, algorithms are implemented in pure Python.
  42. Only the pieces that are extremely critical to performance (e.g. block ciphers)
  43. are implemented as C extensions.
  44. For more information, see the `homepage`_.
  45. All the code can be downloaded from `GitHub`_.
