The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of a
 
11
cryptographic nature.  They are available at the discretion of the installation.

Here's an overview:

Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules written by
 
27
A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package contains modules for various
 
28
encryption algorithms, most notably AES.  These modules are not distributed with
 
29
Python but available separately.  See the URL

http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html  for more information.
