PyNaCl is a Python binding to libsodium, which is a fork of the Networking and Cryptography library. These libraries have a stated goal of improving usability, security and speed.

trustme is a tiny Python package that does one thing: it gives you a fake certificate authority (CA) that you can use to generate fake TLS certs to use in your tests.

MCUboot is a secure bootloader for 32-bit MCUs. This package provides a tool to securely sign firmware images for booting by MCUboot.

This package provides a Elliptic Curve Library in pure Python.

This package is a set of Python bindings for the scrypt key derivation function.

This package provides test vectors for PyCryptodome.

Privy is a small and fast utility for password-protecting secret data such as API keys, cryptocurrency wallets, or seeds for digital signatures.

This package provides a Python ECDSA library, optimized for speed but without C extensions.

Passlib is a password hashing library for Python 2 & 3, which provides cross-platform implementations of over 30 password hashing algorithms, as well as a framework for managing existing password hashes. It's designed to be useful for a wide range of tasks, from verifying a hash found in /etc/shadow, to providing full-strength password hashing for multi-user application.

This package provides another Scrypt module for Python.

Pyu2f is a Python-based U2F host library. It provides functionality for interacting with a U2F device over USB.

PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic primitives. It's 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.

You are expected to have a solid understanding of cryptography and security engineering to successfully use these primitives. You must also be able to recognize that some are obsolete (e.g., TDES) or even insecure (RC4).

It provides many enhancements over the last release of PyCrypto (2.6.1):

• 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)

• Cleaner RSA and DSA key generation (largely based on FIPS 186-4)

• Major clean-ups and simplification of the code base

PyCryptodomex is the stand-alone version of PyCryptodome that no longer provides drop-in compatibility with PyCrypto.

python-secretstorage provides a way for securely storing passwords and other secrets. It uses D-Bus Secret Service API that is supported by GNOME Keyring (since version 2.30) and KSecretsService. SecretStorage supports most of the functions provided by Secret Service, including creating and deleting items and collections, editing items, locking and unlocking collections (asynchronous unlocking is also supported).

M2Crypto is a complete Python wrapper for OpenSSL featuring RSA, DSA, DH, EC, HMACs, message digests, symmetric ciphers (including AES); TLS functionality to implement clients and servers; HTTPS extensions to Python's httplib, urllib, and xmlrpclib; unforgeable HMAC'ing AuthCookies for web session management; FTP/TLS client and server; S/MIME; M2Crypto can also be used to provide TLS for Twisted. Smartcards supported through the Engine interface.

Base58 and Base58Check implementation compatible with what is used by the Bitcoin network.

This package provides drop-in compatibility with PyCrypto. It is one of two PyCryptodome variants, the other being python-pycryptodomex.

This package provides a Python implementation of the SPAKE2 Password-Authenticated Key Exchange algorithm.

This package provides a small library, built on top of pyOpenSSL, which allows for creating a custom certificate authority (CA) certificate, and generating on-demand dynamic host certs using that CA certificate. It is most useful for use with a man-in-the-middle HTTPS proxy, for example, for recording or replaying web content.

This Python package is a high-level wrapper for Kerberos (GSSAPI) operations. The goal is to avoid having to build a module that wraps the entire Kerberos.framework, and instead offer a limited set of functions that do what is needed for client/server Kerberos authentication based on <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4559.txt>.

This package provides Cython bindings for MurmurHash2.

This is a python wrapper for the curve25519 library with ed25519 signatures. The C code was pulled from libaxolotl-android. At the moment this wrapper is meant for use by python-axolotl.

service_identity aspires to give you all the tools you need for verifying whether a certificate is valid for the intended purposes. In the simplest case, this means host name verification. However, service_identity implements RFC 6125 fully and plans to add other relevant RFCs too.

This package provides a Python implementation of the JOSE protocol (Javascript Object Signing and Encryption).

Python-RSA is a pure-Python RSA implementation. It supports encryption and decryption, signing and verifying signatures, and key generation according to PKCS#1 version 1.5. It can be used as a Python library as well as on the command line.
