Comment (by jpflori):

 The errors are because pycrpto wants a secure (hum, let's say more side
 channel attacks resistant) implem of modular exponentiation or issues a
 warning.
 It's available as mpz_powm_sec from recent GMP releases, but MPIR does not
 supply that.
 (Also note that wiith FLINT 2.4 we should be able to build all of Sage
 IIRC on top of gmp, time for a new spkg?)
 So we should just ignore the warnings (or add them to the doctests but
 would fail with Sage on top of GMP).
 Anyway, we don't really care within Sage, at least that's my point of
 view, nobody would or should use Sage to do real crypto.
