The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of a
|
|
cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the installation.
|
|
On Unix systems, the :mod:`crypt` module may also be available.
|
|
Here's an overview:

Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules written by
|
|
A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package contains modules for various
|
|
encryption algorithms, most notably AES. These modules are not distributed with
|
|
Python but available separately. See the URL
|
|
http://www.pycrypto.org for more information.
