# simple-crypt

Simple, secure encryption and decryption for Python 2.7 and 3.
Simple, secure encryption and decryption for Python 3.

Now on [pypi](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simple-crypt):
```pip install simple-crypt```
(note that the pypi name includes a hyphen).

This provides two functions, which encrypt and decrypt data, delegating all
the hard work to the [pycrypto](https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto)
the hard work to the [pycryptodome](https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome)
library (which must also be installed).

## Latest News

Release 5.0 replaced `pycrypto` with `pycryptodome`, a drop-in replacement that
is actively maintained. `pycryptodome` only supports Python 3.4 and above, so
support for Python 2.7 was dropped in this release. Release 5.0 is backward
compatible with output from release 2.0 - 4.1.7.

Release 4.1 obscures the output of the random number generator. This should
not be necessary, but guards against a possible attack if the random number
generator is compromised in some way. Functionality and interoperability are

1. The whole idea of encrypting with a password is not so smart these days.
If you think you need to do this, try reading about Google's
[keyczar](http://www.keyczar.org/) which instead uses a keystore
(unfortunately, at the time of writing, keyczar does not support Python 3,
as far as I can tell, but that should change soon).
(note that keyczar is replaced by [tink](https://github.com/google/tink),
which has ongoing development to support Python).

string. This means that malicious code running on the same machine might
