\chapter{Cryptographic Services}
\label{crypto}
\index{cryptography}
The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of
a cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the
installation. Here's an overview:
\localmoduletable
Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules
written by Andrew Kuchling of further interest; the package adds
built-in modules for DES and IDEA encryption, provides a Python module
for reading and decrypting PGP files, and then some. These modules
are not distributed with Python but available separately. See the URL
\url{http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/python/crypto.html} or
send email to \email{amk1@bigfoot.com} for more information.
