Use pycrypto instead of implement own ad-hoc system #8

Closed hargup closed 8 years ago

hargup commented 8 years ago

@OrkoHunter you should use standard crypto librarieslike pycrypto instead of writing your own ones, later is considered a very bad practice.

OrkoHunter commented 8 years ago

@hargup Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know about a library which uses a key for encryption and decryption as well. May I ask if pycrypto supports the key option?

hargup commented 8 years ago

Yes, pycrypto supports AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As the name suggests it is the current standard for symmetric key cryptography (same key for encryption and decryption).
