# The security/py-cryptodome port

## py-cryptodome-3.7.3 – self-contained cryptographic library for Python

## Description

    PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic
    primitives. It is an cleaned and simplified fork of PyCrypto, exposing
    almost the same API. Most applications run unmodified, apart from a very
    few compatibility breaks for those parts of the API that represented a
    security hazard or that were too hard to maintain.

    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.

    As well as functionality supported by PyCrypto, this adds support for:

    - Authenticated encryption modes (GCM, CCM, EAX, SIV, OCB)
    - Elliptic curves cryptography (NIST P-256 curve only)
    - SHA-3 (including SHAKE XOFs), SHA-512/t and BLAKE2 hash algorithms
    - Salsa20 and ChaCha20 stream ciphers
    - scrypt and HKDF
    - Deterministic (EC)DSA
