9. 加密服务 Cryptographic Services

The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of a cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the installation. Here's an overview:

本章描述的模组实现了具加密性质的不同算法。它们能不能用视安装时的选项而定。以下是概述。

Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules written by A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package adds built-in modules for DES and IDEA encryption, provides a Python module for reading and decrypting PGP files, and then some. These modules are not distributed with Python but available separately. See the URL http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html for more information.

对加密十分狂热者可以找一找 A.M. Kuchling 写的加密模组; 它提供了 DES 及 IDEA 加密法的内建模组, 提供了一个 Python 模组来读取及解读 PGP 档案, 以及别的东西. 这些模组并不包括在 Python 的发布中, 但可以从别处取得到。详情请看 http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html 。
