• CryptKit is a developer's toolkit implementing several of the most
  modern and efficient cryptographic algorithms.  The kit is primarily
  written in ANSI C for speed and subsequently wrapped with SWIG for
  ease of use in Python.
  
  CryptKit is small and fast, mainly because it implements excellent
  algorithms: Rijndael (AES), SHA 256 bits, Elliptic Curve PKI,
  Diffie-Hellman key exchange and Nyberg-Ruppel signature/verification.
  These modules are combined to provide a faster, lighter and easier
  to use secure socket alternative to SSL.  CryptKit is not compatible
  with SSL.  Whereas SSL aims to support a wide variety of algorithms
  that essentially perform the same task ( like DES/RC4/RC2 or MD5/SHA
  ), CryptKit takes the minimalist approach of implementing only one
  version of each crypto primitive. Great care went into selecting the
  best of what was available.
