PyNaCl

Latest Version https://travis-ci.org/pyca/pynacl.svg?branch=master https://coveralls.io/repos/pyca/pynacl/badge.svg?branch=master

PyNaCl is a Python binding to the Networking and Cryptography library, a crypto library with the stated goal of improving usability, security and speed.

Installation

PyNaCl relies on libsodium, a portable C library which can be compiled on a variety of systems. It may already be available from your package manager.

Once libsodium is installed, PyNaCl can be installed by:

$ python setup.py install

Features

  • Digital signatures
  • Secret-key encryption
  • Public-key encryption
  • HMAC (coming soon)

Changes

  • 0.3.0: the low-level API (nacl.c.*) has been changed to match the upstream NaCl C/C++ conventions (as well as those of other NaCl bindings). The order of arguments and return values has changed significantly. To avoid silent failures, nacl.c has been removed, and replaced with nacl.bindings (with the new argument ordering). If you have code which calls these functions (e.g. nacl.c.crypto_box_keypair()), you must review the new docstrings and update your code/imports to match the new conventions.
