By strong, we mean not easily guessed and has sufficient entropy (or secure randomness). This is probably the weakest link in the chain. The stronger the key, the stronger your encryption. Generating a KeyĪES encryption needs a strong key. In this article, we investigate using pycrypto’s implementation of AES for file encryption and decryption. That being said, pycrypto is a pretty good module covering many aspects of cryptography. In our experience JCE is more extensive and complete, and the documentation for JCE is also more complete. Pycrypto is somewhat similar to JCE (Java Cryptography Extension) for Java.
Pycrypto is a python module that provides cryptographic services.
