| 16 | Description: Python bindings for the Catacomb cryptographic library. |
| 17 | Catacomb is a cryptographic library. It implements a large number of |
| 18 | encryption algorithms, hash functions, message authentication codes |
| 19 | and random number generators. It has a multi-precision maths library, |
| 20 | for implementing public key schemes such as RSA, DSA and Diffie-Hellman. |
| 21 | It contains rudimentary key-management tools. |
| 22 | . |
| 23 | The objective of Catacomb is to make a crypto library which is |
| 24 | relatively straightforward to audit for security. Its focus is on |
| 25 | clarity of source code and portability more than performance. |
| 26 | . |
| 27 | This package allows the Catacomb library to be used in Python programs. |
