Welcome to ``cryptography``
===========================
.. warning::
``cryptography`` is very young, and very incomplete.
``cryptography`` is a Python library which exposes cryptographic primitives and
recipes.
Why a new crypto library for Python?
------------------------------------
We wanted to address a few issues with existing cryptography libraries in
Python:
* Lack of PyPy support
* Lack of maintenance
* Use of poor implementations of algorithms (i.e. ones with known side-channel
attacks)
* Lack of high level, "Cryptography for humans", APIs
* Absence of algorithms such as AES-GCM
* Poor introspectability, and thus poor testability
