The package is structured to make adding new modules easy. - -One possible application of the PCT is writing secure administration -tools. Another application is in writing daemons and servers. Clients -and servers can encrypt the data being exchanged and mutually -authenticate themselves; daemons can encrypt private data for added -security. Python also provides a pleasant framework for prototyping and -experimentation with cryptographic algorithms; thanks to its -arbitrary-length integers, public key algorithms based on number theory -are easily implemented. - -See pct.info for more information. |
