15. Cryptographic Services
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:
| md5 |
RSA's MD5 message digest algorithm. |
| sha |
NIST's secure hash algorithm, SHA. |
| mpz |
Interface to the GNU MP library for arbitrary
precision arithmetic. |
| rotor |
Enigma-like encryption and decryption. |
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
