- 2010-Nov-27: Handling encrypted web downloads with Python. This appears to be a mix of AES, JSON and urllib2. [9440]
- 2010-Jun-25: The pycrypto Python crypto toolkit (in July 2006 this moved to Launchpad) and the ezPyCrypto wrapper layer. SSLCrypto is an updated (and much higher performance) version of ezPyCrypto. Voidspace.org has pre-compiled binaries for PyCrypto and a number of other useful modules. An example of doing AES encryption with PyCrypto. [161]

- 2009-Nov-05: cryptacular is hashed password management module for use in web servers. [8711]
- 2009-Aug-12: M2Crypto also does SSL, here is the home page. M2Crypto is being updated for use with Python 2.6. The update has appeared here. M2Crypto has reached 0.20 now, with lots of SSL server support. [164]
- 2009-Jul-20: paramiko, a Python module for SSH2 connections, also here on PyPI. [341] [1]
- 2009-Jul-15: PyECC is a module for performing Elliptical Curve Cryptography. [8277]
- 2009-Jul-15: The arc4 implementation of the RC4 cipher. [8276]
- 2009-May-04: An implementation of the RC4 encryption algorithm in Python. [7939]
- 2009-Mar-06: pki is a toolkit for managing X509 certificates and RSA keys. [7697]

- 2008-Oct-14: cryptoPNG a stenography program to encode or extract data to or from PNG images. [7025]
- 2008-Sep-12: keas.kmi implements a NIST SP 800-57 compliant Key Management Infrastructure (KMI). [6838]
- 2008-Aug-29: PyKCS11, a Python wrapper for the PKCS#11 API, see also here, now it seems to be here and here on the PyPI. [167]
- 2008-Aug-17: Keyczar is a cryptography toolkit for Python and Java from the Google Security Team. Discussed here on Slashdot. [6694]
- 2008-Jun-25: The Spore Creature Creator program embeds the meta information about the creature (the DNA for it) inside the PNG image of the creature it saves. However this information is no included as a text record within the PNG, rather it appears to be saved (the article takes a look inside the PNG file using PIL) using steganography. Quite a neat idea, except if you modify the image you destroy the DNA embedded within (though that could be viewed as a feature). [6429] [1]
- 2008-Jun-06: A pure Python implementation of the RSA core cryptographic functions, done as a student project. This looks to be the same thing. [5965]

- 2008-Jan-21: The PyMOTW takes a look at the hashlib module that combines the original md5 and sha modules and extends them with other hashing algorithms provided by OpenSSL. [4974] [1] [2]
- 2008-Jan-15: pycryptopp is a Python wrapper for the Crypto++ library. It can also be found here and its home page is here. [4036]
- 2008-Jan-07: TrueCrypt Explained goes into great detail about how the TrueCrypt software works (from a cryptographic point of view) and includes Python code to decrypt a TrueCrypt volume (it includes Python implementations of the various crypto routines that are not available in the standard Python distribution).
