- New upstream release 2.5:
- Added PKCS#1 encryption schemes (v1.5 and OAEP); we now have a decent,
easy-to-use non-textbook RSA implementation
- Added PKCS#1 signature schemes (v1.5 and PSS); v1.5 required some
extensive changes to Hash modules to contain the algorithm-specific ASN.1
OID, and to that end we now always have a (thin) Python module to hide the
one in pure C
- Added 2 standard Key Derivation Functions (PBKDF1 and PBKDF2)
- Added export/import of RSA keys in OpenSSH and PKCS#8 formats
- Added password-protected export/import of RSA keys (one old method for
PKCS#8 PEM only)
- Added ability to generate RSA key pairs with configurable public
exponent e
- Added ability to construct an RSA key pair even if only the private
exponent d is known, and not p and q
- Added SHA-2 C source code (fully from Lorenz Quack)
- Unit tests for all the above
- Updates to documentation (both inline and in Doc/pycrypt.rst)
- Minor bug fixes (setup.py and tests)
- Upstream no longer ships python-3-changes.txt
