Python encryption library is very helpful with the following features:
- Symmetric Encryption: AES, Blowfish, Twofish, RC2, ARC4, DES, 3DES, PBES1, PBES2.
- Hash Algorithms: SHA-1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MD2, MD4, MD5, HAVAL.
- Hash Algorithms: RIPEMD128, RIPEMD160, RIPEMD256, RIPEMD320.
- Encoding: Base64, hex, quoted-printable, URL-encoding.
- HMAC with any supported hash algorithm: HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, etc.
- Password-based Key Derivation Functions: PBKDF1, PBKDF2
- PKCS7 — P7S and P7M creation, decryption, verification.
- Public key encryption/decryption with digital certificates.
- Digital signature creation/verification with digital certificates.
- Bzip2 in-memory compression.
- Encrypt / decrypt strings or byte data.
- Return encrypted data as Base64, quoted-printable, or hex-encoded strings.
- Hash strings or binary data using SHA1, MD2, MD5, HAVAL, SHA384, or SHA512.
- Public-key encryption with digital certificates.
- Create and verify digital signatures.
- Pre-convert Unicode strings to ANSI (single-byte/char) before encrypting.
- Pre-convert Unicode strings to any charset before encrypting, compressing, or hashing.
- Base64 encode strings or byte data.
- Hex-encode encode strings or byte data.
- Compress strings or byte data with the BZIP2 compression algorithm.
- Implements FIPS81 padding scheme for AES.
- Up to 256-bit encryption is supported.
- Set binary secret-key directly for symmetric encryption algorithms.
- Initialization vectors.
- CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) Mode
- ECB (Electronic Cookbook) Mode
- Random byte data generation.
- Streaming hashing (pass data to hashing functions in chunks).
- Streaming encryption (pass data to encryption functions in chunks).
