Programming Lang: Python
Description : a Python library which exposes cryptographic recipes and
primitives.
The cryptography library is designed to be a "one-stop-shop" for
all your cryptographic needs in Python.
As an alternative to the libraries that came before it, cryptography
tries to address some of the issues with those libraries:
- Lack of PyPy and Python 3 support.
- Lack of maintenance.
- Use of poor implementations of algorithms (i.e. ones with known
side-channel attacks).
- Lack of high level, "Cryptography for humans", APIs.
- Absence of algorithms such as AES-GCM.
- Poor introspectability, and thus poor testability.
- Extremely error prone APIs, and bad defaults.
I will probably be maintaining this in DPMT. The binary package name will be
python-cryptography as per the standard Python naming convention.
