<!-- ==================== PACKAGE DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
<h1 class="epydoc">Package Cipher</h1><p class="nomargin-top"></p>
<p>Symmetric- and asymmetric-key encryption algorithms.</p>
<p>Encryption algorithms transform plaintext in some way that
is dependent on a key or key pair, producing ciphertext.</p>
<div class="rst-section" id="rst-symmetric-algorithms">
<h1 class="heading">Symmetric algorithms</h1>
<p>Encryption can easily be reversed, if (and, hopefully, only if)
one knows the same key.
In other words, sender and receiver share the same key.</p>
<p>The symmetric encryption modules here all support the interface described in PEP
272, "API for Block Encryption Algorithms".</p>
<p>If you don't know which algorithm to choose, use AES because it's
standard and has undergone a fair bit of examination.</p>

<p>For asymmetric algorithms, the key to be used for decryption is totally
different and cannot be derived in a feasible way from the key used
for encryption. Put differently, sender and receiver each own one half
of a key pair. The encryption key is often called <tt class="rst-docutils literal">public</tt> whereas
the decryption key is called <tt class="rst-docutils literal">private</tt>.</p>
