(description
"PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level
cryptographic primitives. It's not a wrapper to a separate C library like
OpenSSL. To the largest possible extent, algorithms are implemented in pure
Python. Only the pieces that are extremely critical to performance (e.g.,
block ciphers) are implemented as C extensions.
It brings the following enhancements with respect to the last official version
of PyCrypto:
You are expected to have a solid understanding of cryptography and security
engineering to successfully use these primitives. You must also be able to
recognize that some are obsolete (e.g., TDES) or even insecure (RC4).
It provides many enhancements over the last release of PyCrypto (2.6.1):
@itemize
@item Authenticated encryption modes (GCM, CCM, EAX, SIV, OCB)
@item Accelerated AES on Intel platforms via AES-NI
@item First class support for PyPy
@item First-class support for PyPy
@item Elliptic curves cryptography (NIST P-256 curve only)

automatic generation of random nonces and IVs, simplified CTR cipher mode, and
