This is the repository for an intro to crypto using PyCrypto. It is aimed at introducing basic cryptography topics to programmers who are unfamiliar with cryptography. It uses the PyCrypto library.

The tutorial is in the doc/ folder, where there is a LaTeX source file and a Makefile to build the PDF and (eventually the markdown file). I've

It includes a library of sample code to illustrate use of the PyCrypto library as well as a tutorial. The sample code is purposefully simple to illustrate clearly how to use the software.

Included source files (in src/): block.py: block cipher example code block_crypt.py: example code for using the block cipher examples block_tests.py: tests for the block cipher code

publickey.py:       public key cryptography example code
publickey_crypt.py: example code using the public key example code
publickey_tests.py: tests for the public key code

tests.txt:          example validated test code output
