PyCryptodome

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

It supports Python 2.4 or newer, all Python 3 versions and PyPy.

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)

  • Accelerated AES on Intel platforms via AES-NI

  • First class support for PyPy

  • SHA-3 hash algorithm

  • Salsa20 stream cipher

  • scrypt and HKDF

  • Deterministic 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)

  • Simplified install process, including better support for Windows

  • Cleaner RSA and DSA key generation (largely based on FIPS 186-4)

  • Major clean ups and simplification of the code base
