| Welcome to Python-RSA's documentation! |
| ====================================== |
| |
| Python-RSA is a pure-Python RSA implementation. It supports |
| encryption and decryption, signing and verifying signatures, and key |
| generation according to PKCS#1 version 1.5. |
| |
| |
| Security notice |
| -------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| This RSA implementation has seen the eyes of a security expert, and it |
| uses an industry standard random padding method. However, there are |
| still possible vectors of attack. Just to name one example, it doesn't |
| compress the input stream to remove repetitions, and if you display |
| the stack trace of a ``Decryptionerror`` exception you'll leak |
| information about the reason why decryption failed. And I'm sure that |
| those aren't the only insecurities. Use your own judgement to decide |
| whether this module is secure enough for your application. |
| |
| If you have the time and skill to improve the implementation, by all |
| means be my guest. The best way is to clone the Mercurial repository |
| and send me a merge request when you've got something worth merging. |
