Description: 
        PyCryptodome
        ============
        
        PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level
        cryptographic primitives.
        
        It supports Python 2.4 or newer, all Python 3 versions and PyPy.
        
        You can install it with::
        
            pip install pycryptodome
        
        All modules are installed under the ``Crypto`` package.
        
        Check the pycryptodomex_ project for the equivalent library that
        works under the ``Cryptodome`` package.
        
        PyCryptodome is 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
        * First class support for PyPy
        * 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)
        * Simplified install process, including better support for Windows
        * 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.
