|

The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of
|
|
a cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the
|
|
installation.

Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the Python Cryptography Kit of
|
|
further interest; the package adds built-in modules for DES and IDEA
|
|
encryption, and provides a Python module for reading and decrypting
|
|
PGP files. The Python Cryptography Kit is not distributed with Python
|
|
but available separately. See the URL
|
|
\file{http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/\%7Efnord/crypt.html} for more information.
