Name        : python-pycryptodomex
Product     : Fedora 41
Version     : 3.23.0
Release     : 1.fc41
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:

3.23.0 (17 May 2025)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
Added cipher modes Key Wrap (KW, RFC3394) and Key Wrap with Padding (KWP,
RFC5649).
  Both are defined also in NIST SP 800-38F.
Wheels for Windows ARM.
Resolved issues
GH#862: For HashEdDSA and Ed448, sign() and verify() modified the state of the
XOF.
3.22.0 (16 March 2025)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
Added support for HPKE (RFC 9180).
Resolved issues
GH#812: CCM ciphers will now fail before encrypting (or decrypting)
  data beyond the limit imposed by the nonce length.
GH#846: fix infinite loop with RC4 for data larger than 4GB.
GH#852: handle correctly invalid PEM files with less than 3 lines.
Other changes
Remove support for Python 3.6.
