The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of a
|
||
|
cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the installation.
|
||
|
Here's an overview:

hashlib.rst
|

hmac.rst
|

md5.rst
|

sha.rst

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.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html for more information.
