# The security/py-cryptkit port

## py-cryptkit-0.9p8 – Python Cryptographic Toolkit

## Description

    CryptKit is a developer's toolkit implementing several of the most
    modern and efficient cryptographic algorithms.  The kit is primarily
    written in ANSI C for speed and subsequently wrapped with SWIG for
    ease of use in Python.

    CryptKit is small and fast, mainly because it implements excellent
    algorithms: Rijndael (AES), SHA 256 bits, Elliptic Curve PKI,
    Diffie-Hellman key exchange and Nyberg-Ruppel signature/verification.
    These modules are combined to provide a faster, lighter and easier
    to use secure socket alternative to SSL.  CryptKit is not compatible
    with SSL.  Whereas SSL aims to support a wide variety of algorithms
    that essentially perform the same task ( like DES/RC4/RC2 or MD5/SHA
    ), CryptKit takes the minimalist approach of implementing only one
    version of each crypto primitive. Great care went into selecting the
    best of what was available.
