Description: Python library exposing cryptographic recipes and primitives (documentation)
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.
This package contains the documentation for cryptography.
