Evaldo Gardenali 1f398b6135 pycrypto:
The Toolkit is a collection of cryptographic algorithms and protocols,
implemented for use from Python. The current release is 2.0.1. Among the
contents of the package:
    * Hash functions: MD2, MD4, RIPEMD, SHA256.
    * Block encryption algorithms: AES, ARC2, Blowfish, CAST, DES,
      Triple-DES, IDEA, RC5.
    * Stream encryption algorithms: ARC4, simple XOR.
    * Public-key algorithms: RSA, DSA, ElGamal, qNEW.
    * Protocols: All-or-nothing transforms, chaffing/winnowing.
    * Miscellaneous: RFC1751 module for converting 128-key keys into a set
      of English words, primality testing.
    * Some demo programs (currently all quite old and outdated).
