Name        : python-ecdsa
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 0.11
Release     : 1.fc20
URL         : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ecdsa
Summary     : ECDSA cryptographic signature library
Description :
This is an easy-to-use implementation of ECDSA cryptography (Elliptic Curve
Digital Signature Algorithm), implemented purely in Python, released under
the MIT license. With this library, you can quickly create keypairs (signing
key and verifying key), sign messages, and verify the signatures. The keys
and signatures are very short, making them easy to handle and incorporate
into other protocols.

NOTE: The prime192v1 and secp224r1 curves are currently disabled.

Update Information:

Update to 0.11:
- Add signature-encoding functions "sigencode_{strings,string,der}_canonize" which canonicalize the S value (using the smaller of the two possible values)
- Add validate_point=" argument to VerifyingKey.from_string() constructor (defaults to True) which can be used to disable time-consuming point validation when importing a pre-validated verifying key.
- Drop python2.5 support (untested but not explicitly broken yet), update trove classifiers.
