TODO

  • add chaining modes
  • further importing of pycrypto
  • make test vectors available as variables
  • add tests:
    • CBC for serpent, twofish, blowfish
    • XTS is only tested by comparing deciphered ciphertext, not by checking ciphertext
  • check other implementation of Blowfish
  • final() method of chains
    • add a cipher.final() method? pycrypto doesn't have it, but it doesn't really conflict with the pycrypto API. It will just extend it
    • final() method should use padding. Choose padding function at initialization of the cipher => again: extending the API
  • XTS <-> XTS-AES?
    XTS-AES just denotes XTS using AES cipher? Make only that one available?
  • add rijndael instead of only AES

Licenses

  • used from python truecrypt implementation
    all original code is under MIT license (much freedom according to [1])
    • pyTwofish (untouched)
      python truecrypt author isn't the original author = > extra copyright notice that should be left in place
    • pyserpent (untouched)
      python truecrypt author isn't the original author = > extra copyright notice that should be left in place
    • XTS (modified)
      python truecrypt author is the original author => only MIT License
    • GF2n.py(untouched)
      python truecrypt author is the original author => only MIT License
  • pyblowfish (untouched)
    gpl or artistic license
    gpl is compatible with public domain
  • rijndael.py (untouched)
    using tls lite (public domain) implementation which uses code from Bram Cohen (public domain)
  • pyDes (untouched)
    public domain according to its homepage
  • blockciphers CBC, ECB, CTR from [2] (modified)
    keep copyright notice in place?
