[Python-RSA](https://stuvel.eu/rsa) is a pure-Python RSA implementation. It supports
|
||
|
encryption and decryption, signing and verifying signatures, and key
|
||
|
generation according to PKCS#1 version 1.5. It can be used as a Python
|
||
|
library as well as on the commandline. The code was mostly written by
|
||
|
Sybren A. Stüvel.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Documentation can be found at the [Python-RSA homepage](https://stuvel.eu/rsa).

Major changes in 4.0
|
||
|
--------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Version 3.4 was the last version in the 3.x range. Version 4.0 drops the following modules,
|
||
|
as they are insecure:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `rsa._version133`
|
||
|
- `rsa._version200`
|
||
|
- `rsa.bigfile`
|
||
|
- `rsa.varblock`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Those modules were marked as deprecated in version 3.4.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Furthermore, in 4.0 the I/O functions is streamlined to always work with bytes on all
|
||
|
supported versions of Python.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Version 4.0 drops support for Python 2.6 and 3.3.
