"""Cryptography helpers for verifying and signing messages.

The simplest way to verify signatures is using :func:`verify_signature`::

    cert = open('certs.pem').read()
    valid = crypt.verify_signature(message, signature, cert)

If you're going to verify many messages with the same certificate, you can use
:class:`RSAVerifier`::

    cert = open('certs.pem').read()
    verifier = crypt.RSAVerifier.from_string(cert)
    valid = verifier.verify(message, signature)

To sign messages use :class:`RSASigner` with a private key::

    private_key = open('private_key.pem').read()
    signer = crypt.RSASigner(private_key)
    signature = signer.sign(message)
