pyca/cryptography
7,628View on GitHubThis project is a Python cryptography library that provides a collection of cryptographic primitives and high-level recipes for implementing secure encryption and authentication. It functions as a symmetric encryption toolkit and a cryptographic hash provider, offering both a low-level cryptographic interface for building custom protocols and high-level tools for securing data. The library covers a broad range of security capabilities, including symmetric data encryption, the derivation of cryptographic keys from passwords or secret values, and data integrity verification through the generati
This library is the industry-standard toolkit for Python, providing both low-level primitives and high-level recipes for symmetric encryption, hashing, key derivation, and digital signatures.

13,542View on GitHubTink is a multi-language cryptography library and security toolkit providing secure APIs for data encryption and digital signatures. It functions as a data encryption library and digital signature framework designed to prevent common implementation errors across different platforms and operating systems. The project serves as a cryptographic keyset manager, utilizing JSON for the storage, rotation, and serialization of keys to maintain consistency across various programming languages. It ensures identical cryptographic behavior globally by mapping language-specific libraries to a unified set
Tink provides a robust, high-level cryptographic API that handles symmetric encryption, digital signatures, and key management, though it is primarily a multi-language framework rather than a Python-native library.
