-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2019-8b44332d9f 2019-12-20 01:38:17.500826 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : python-pycryptodomex Product : Fedora EPEL 8 Version : 3.9.4 Release : 1.el8 URL : http://www.pycryptodome.org/ Summary : A self-contained cryptographic library for Python Description : PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic primitives. It's a fork of PyCrypto. It brings several enhancements with respect to the last official version of PyCrypto (2.6.1), for instance:

* 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.

Note: all modules are installed under the Cryptodome package to avoid conflicts with the PyCrypto library.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:

* [GH#341](https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome/issues/341): Prevent ``key_to_english`` from creating invalid data when fed with keys of length not multiple of 8. Thanks to vstoykovbg. * [GH#347](https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome/issues/347): Fix blocking RSA signing/decryption when key has very small factor. Thanks to Martijn Pieters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
