17 Description: Python bindings for the Catacomb cryptographic library.
18 Catacomb is a cryptographic library. It implements a large number of
19 encryption algorithms, hash functions, message authentication codes
20 and random number generators. It has a multi-precision maths library,
21 for implementing public key schemes such as RSA, DSA and Diffie-Hellman.
22 It contains rudimentary key-management tools.
24 The objective of Catacomb is to make a crypto library which is
25 relatively straightforward to audit for security. Its focus is on
26 clarity of source code and portability more than performance.
28 This package allows the Catacomb library to be used in Python programs.
