Any recommended crypto libraries for Python. I know I’ve asked something similar in x509 certificate parsing libraries for Java, but I should’ve split the question in two.
What I need is the ability to parse X.509 Certificates to extract the information contained in them.
Looking around, I’ve found two options:
- Python OpenSSL Wrappers (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pow)
- pyOpenSSL
Of the two, pyOpenSSL seems to be the most ‘maintained’, but I’d like some feedback on anybody who might have experience with them?
You might want to try keyczar as mentioned by me in your other post, since that library actually has implementations for both python and java. That would make it easier to use it in both contexts.
A word of warning: I have not actually used this library 8(, so please take this with a grain of salt.
