PyCrypto is long-outdated and we need to remove support for it. TUF (and securesystemslib) has already removed PyCrypto support and uses only cryptography and I need to follow suit here. Ideally, I'd rather merge the TUF codebase first (so that Uptane is no longer using a TUF fork). Currently, that work is being held up by ASN.1 issues.

PyCrypto has security vulnerabilities that were recently documented here.

This will be resolved when Uptane switches to the use of the main TUF repository (theupdateframework/tuf), which dropped pycrypto some time ago.
