Initial import of py-SSLCrypto-0.1.1 into the Packages Collection. SSLCrypto is a package for Python that dramatically eases the task of adding encryption to Python programs. It provides a unified API that is almost totally compatible with that of ezPyCrypto, except that it takes advantage of the OpenSSL Crypto Library to deliver massive improvements in speed and security. After using ezPyCrypto myself, I found that while it performed ok with smaller public key sizes, it proved impossibly slow with larger keys. This slowness, resulting from non-optimal code in its backend (the Python Cryptography Toolkit) meant that on a 1.5 GHz Athlon XP, it was taking several minutes to generate 4096-bit keys. Completely unacceptable if you need real security. Performance is absolutely critical for an encryption API. If slowness deters people from using adequate-sized keys, security will be severely compromised, almost to the extent that there's little point in using encryption in the first place.
