Name        : python-crypto
Product     : Fedora 26
Version     : 2.6.1
Release     : 22.fc26
URL         : http://www.pycrypto.org/
Summary     : Cryptography library for Python
Description :
PyCrypto is a collection of both secure hash functions (such as MD5 and
SHA), and various encryption algorithms (AES, DES, RSA, ElGamal, etc.).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The textbook ElGamal implementation is not secure. PyCrypto and some other
implementations use the wrong algorithm, which may lead to some information
disclosure simply by looking at the encrypted text. For a full description, see
https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/253  This update includes a fix for
this problem backported from pycryptodome.
