Mastering Python for Networking and Security

Introduction to cryptography

Cryptography is available in the pypi repository and you can install with the pip install cryptography command.

In the https://pypi.org/project/cryptography URL, we can see the last version of this module.

For more information about installation and supported platforms, check out https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/.

Cryptography includes both high-level and low-level interfaces to common cryptographic algorithms, such as symmetric ciphers, message digests, and key-derivation functions. For example, we can use symmetric encryption with the fernet package.
