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:

Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules
|
|
written by Andrew Kuchling of further interest; the package adds
|
|
built-in modules for DES and IDEA encryption, provides a Python module
|
|
for reading and decrypting PGP files, and then some. These modules
|
|
are not distributed with Python but available separately. See the URL
|

\url{http://starship.skyport.net/crew/amk/python/crypto.html} or
|
|
send email to \email{akuchlin@acm.org} for more information.
