.. index:: single: cryptography
The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of a
cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the installation.
On Unix systems, the :mod:`crypt` module may also be available.
Here's an overview:
.. toctree::
hashlib.rst
hmac.rst
.. index::
pair: AES; algorithm
single: cryptography
single: Kuchling, Andrew
Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules written by
A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package contains modules for various
encryption algorithms, most notably AES. These modules are not distributed with
Python but available separately. See the URL
http://www.pycrypto.org for more information.
