| The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of |
| a cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the |
| installation. Here's an overview: |

| Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules |
| written by A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package contains |
| modules for various encryption algorithms, most notably AES. These modules |
| are not distributed with Python but available separately. See the URL |
