:py:mod:`crypto` --- Generic cryptographic module
=================================================

.. py:module:: OpenSSL.crypto
   :synopsis: Generic cryptographic module

.. danger::

    **This module is pending deprecation, use pyca/cryptography instead.**

    `pyca/cryptography`_ is likely a better choice than using this module.
    It contains a complete set of cryptographic primitives as well as a significantly better and more powerful X509 API.
    If necessary you can convert to and from cryptography objects using the ``to_cryptography`` and ``from_cryptography`` methods on ``X509``, ``X509Req``, ``CRL``, and ``PKey``.


Elliptic curves
---------------

.. autofunction:: get_elliptic_curves

.. autofunction:: get_elliptic_curve

Serialization and deserialization
---------------------------------

The following serialization functions take one of these constants to determine the format.

.. py:data:: FILETYPE_PEM

:data:`FILETYPE_PEM` serializes data to a Base64-encoded encoded representation of the underlying ASN.1 data structure. This representation includes delimiters that define what data structure is contained within the Base64-encoded block: for example, for a certificate, the delimiters are ``-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----`` and ``-----END CERTIFICATE-----``.

.. py:data:: FILETYPE_ASN1

:data:`FILETYPE_ASN1` serializes data to the underlying ASN.1 data structure. The format used by :data:`FILETYPE_ASN1` is also sometimes referred to as DER.

Exceptions
----------

.. py:exception:: Error

    Generic exception used in the :py:mod:`.crypto` module.


Digest names
------------

Several of the functions and methods in this module take a digest name.
These must be strings describing a digest algorithm supported by OpenSSL (by ``EVP_get_digestbyname``, specifically).
For example, :const:`b"sha256"` or :const:`b"sha384"`.

More information and a list of these digest names can be found in the ``EVP_DigestInit(3)`` man page of your OpenSSL installation.
This page can be found online for the latest version of OpenSSL:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/EVP_DigestInit.html
