Description:
PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level
cryptographic primitives. It's 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
* Elliptic curves cryptography (NIST P-256 curve only)
* 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
* 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)
* 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.

Note: upstream provides two "flavors" of the library, which is a fork of
pycrypto:
- pycryptodome: one overriding the pycrypto library (all modules are installed
under the Crypto package, and then conflict with the python-crypto package)
- pycryptodomex: one independent of the pycrypto library (all modules are
installed under the Cryptodome package).
This package provides the pycryptodomex flavor to avoid conflicts.
