single: cryptography
The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of a cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the installation. Here's an overview:
hashlib.rst hmac.rst md5.rst sha.rst
pair: AES; algorithm single: cryptography single: Kuchling, Andrew
Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules written by A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package contains modules for various encryption algorithms, most notably AES. These modules are not distributed with Python but available separately. See the URL http://www.pycrypto.org for more information.
