PyElliptic
A deprecated Python wrapper for OpenSSL providing ECC, AES, HMAC, Blowfish, and other cryptographic operations.
What is PyElliptic?
PyElliptic is a deprecated Python wrapper for the OpenSSL library that provides cryptographic functions including Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), symmetric encryption (AES, Blowfish, RC4), and utilities like HMAC and PBKDF2. It simplifies implementing security features by offering a high-level Python interface to OpenSSL's capabilities.
Python developers needing cryptographic operations such as encryption, digital signatures, or key agreement in their applications, particularly those working with legacy systems or exploring OpenSSL integration.
It offers a straightforward Pythonic API for complex OpenSSL functions, supporting both modern ECC and traditional symmetric ciphers, though it is now deprecated and should be replaced with maintained libraries.
