Answer 1

Use M2Crypto, it is the most complete tool IMHO

Answer 2

You might want to try keyczar as mentioned by me in your other post, since that library actually has implementations for both python and java. That would make it easier to use it in both contexts.

A word of warning: I have not actually used this library 8(, so please take this with a grain of salt.

Answer 3

My experience is that most crypto libraries are focused on a particular workflow - making a certain set of tasks easier and others hard or perhaps impossible. The exception to this would be ones that have really been around a long time and have matured (e.g. openssl, bounceycastle, but none of the python libraries in my experience). So, you really need to evaluate libraries in the context of what you are trying to do.

More specifically, I've used pyOpenSSL for simple generation of private keys and certificates requests (i.e. being a client to a CA) and am quite happy with it.

The keyczar project is deprecated. You can check out tink.

cryptography - How to sign a document in python with M2Crypto using particular padding technique?

I need to digitally sign some text in python using a private key stored in a .pem file. It seems like M2Crypto is the preferred way to do that these days, so that's what I'm using. I think I get most of it, but I'm confused about how to configure padding. To be specific, I need to verify the signature in an iPhone app, using a padding scheme called kSecPaddingPKCS1SHA1 and described like this:

Lightweight cryptography toolkit(s) for C++ and Python

I'm looking to do some basic encryption of server messages which would be encrypted with C++ and decrypted using Python server side. I was wondering if anyone knew if there were good solutions that were simpler or more lightweight than Keyczar. I see that supports both C++ and python, but would using Crypto++ and PyCrypto be simpler for a newbie that just wants to get something up and running for the time being? ...

cryptography - what python package for rsa algorithm

looking to do RSA encryption on a short string in python. This is for a piece of user data that I want to store without staff (incl myself) being able to see it. The private key will be on a thumbdrive in my safety deposit box for when we get subpoenaed. my question: is there a 'probably correct' python package for asymmetric-key RSA? Will I be safer to use a C library (if so which one).
