Readme

PyCryptodome

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

It supports Python 2.7, Python 3.6 and newer, and PyPy.

You can install it with:

pip install pycryptodomex

All modules are installed under the Cryptodome package.

Check the pycryptodome project for the equivalent library that works under the Crypto package.

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

Authenticated encryption modes (GCM, CCM, EAX, SIV, OCB)
Accelerated AES on Intel platforms via AES-NI
First class support for PyPy
Elliptic curves cryptography (NIST P-curves; Ed25519, Ed448, Curve25519)
Better and more compact API (nonce and iv attributes for ciphers, automatic generation of random nonces and IVs, simplified CTR cipher mode, and more)
SHA-3 (including SHAKE XOFs) and BLAKE2 hash algorithms
Salsa20 and ChaCha20 stream ciphers
scrypt and HKDF
Deterministic (EC)DSA and EdDSA
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

PyCryptodome is 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.

For more information, see the homepage.

All the code can be downloaded from GitHub.
