python-pycryptodomex-3.5.0-1.fc27

FEDORA-2018-702bf2655b created by melmorabity 6 years ago for Fedora 27

3.5.0

New features

  • Import and export of ECC curves in compressed form.
  • The initial counter for a cipher in CTR mode can be a byte string (in addition to an integer).
  • Faster PBKDF2 for HMAC-based PRFs (at least 20x for short passwords, more for longer passwords). Thanks to Christian Heimes for pointing out the implementation was under-optimized.
  • The salt for PBKDF2 can be either a string or bytes (GH#67).
  • Ciphers and hash functions accept data as bytearray, not just binary strings.
  • The old SHA-1 and MD5 hash functions are available even when Python's own hashlib does not include them.

Fix Provides in python3 subpackage


PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic primitives.

PyCryptodome is a fork of PyCrypto. It brings the following enhancements with respect to the last official version of PyCrypto (2.6.1):

  • Authenticated encryption modes (GCM, CCM, EAX, SIV, OCB)
  • Accelerated AES on Intel platforms via AES-NI
  • Elliptic curves cryptography (NIST P-256 curve only)
  • Better and more compact API (nonce and iv attributes for ciphers, automatic generation of random nonces and IVs, simplified CTR cipher mode, and more)
  • SHA-3 (including SHAKE XOFs) and BLAKE2 hash algorithms
  • Salsa20 and ChaCha20 stream ciphers
  • scrypt and HKDF
  • Deterministic (EC)DSA
  • Password-protected PKCS#8 key containers
  • Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme
  • Random numbers get sourced directly from the OS (and not from a CSPRNG in userspace)
  • Cleaner RSA and DSA key generation (largely based on FIPS 186-4)
  • Major clean ups and simplification of the code base

PyCryptodome is not a wrapper to a separate C library like OpenSSL. To the largest possible extent, algorithms are implemented in pure Python. Only the pieces that are extremely critical to performance (e.g. block ciphers) are implemented as C extensions.
