| 46e6ad89 | 15 | Description: Python bindings for the Catacomb cryptographic library. |
| 22ea5cd3 MW |
16 | Catacomb is a cryptographic library. It implements a large number of |
| 17 | encryption algorithms, hash functions, message authentication codes | |
| 18 | and random number generators. It has a multi-precision maths library, | |
| 19 | for implementing public key schemes such as RSA, DSA and Diffie-Hellman. | |
| 20 | It contains rudimentary key-management tools. | |
| 21 | . | |
| 22 | The objective of Catacomb is to make a crypto library which is | |
| 23 | relatively straightforward to audit for security. Its focus is on | |
| 24 | clarity of source code and portability more than performance. | |
| 25 | . | |
| 8468a063 | 26 | This package allows the Catacomb library to be used in Python programs. |
