https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1552033 Bug ID: 1552033 Summary: Review Request: python-pycryptodomex - A self-contained cryptographic library for Python Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: pikachu.2014@xxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: https://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/python-pycryptodomex/python-pycryptodomex.spec SRPM URL: https://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/python-pycryptodomex/python-pycryptodomex-3.4.12-1.fc27.src.rpm 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. Fedora Account System Username: melmorabity Note: upstream provides two "flavors" of the library, which is a fork of pycrypto: - pycryptodome: one overriding the pycrypto library (all modules are installed under the Crypto package, and then conflict with the python-crypto package) - pycryptodomex: one independent of the pycrypto library (all modules are installed under the Cryptodome package). This package provides the pycryptodomex flavor to avoid conflicts. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
