I'd be interested to know from someone wiser than me, their thoughts on this library and the impact vs the Cryptodome python library (if any at all).
Having once upon a time preferred pycryptodome for some reason or other (various additional support to the standard at the time), perhaps I'm out of date or confused as to what the best standard python cryptography library should be for someone who might occasionally play in the "hazmat" space (to use the terms of the article's library).
- X-Istence 6y agoCryptodome is a replacement or continuation of PyCrypto, a library that has had a large amount of issues, and while it provides the hazmat primitives it makes it easy to misuse them. Cryptography on the other hand while providing the low-level functionality if required, provides a higher level interface on top of those primitives that makes it hard to misuse and thereby potentially make cryptographic mistakes.
