Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2019-28e4beb533
2019-12-04 01:55:46.045767
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : python-pycryptodomex
Product : Fedora EPEL 8
Version : 3.9.3
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:
#3.9.3 (12 November 2019) Resolved issues --------------- * GH#308: Align stack
of functions using SSE2 intrinsics to avoid crashes, when compiled with gcc on
32-bit x86 platforms. #3.9.2 (10 November 2019) New features ------------ *
Add Python 3.8 wheels for Mac. Resolved issues --------------- * GH#308: Avoid
allocating arrays of ``__m128i`` on the stack, to cope with buggy compilers. *
GH#322: Remove blanket ``-O3`` optimization for gcc and clang, to cope with
buggy compilers. * GH#337: Fix typing stubs for signatures. * GH#338: Deal with
gcc installations that don't have ``x86intrin.h``. #3.9.1 (1 November 2019)
New features ------------ * Add Python 3.8 wheels for Linux and Windows.
Resolved issues --------------- * GH#328: minor speed-up when importing RSA.
