| 10 | The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of a |
| 11 | cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the installation. |

| 26 | Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules written by |
| 27 | A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package contains modules for various |
| 28 | encryption algorithms, most notably AES. These modules are not distributed with |
| 29 | Python but available separately. See the URL |
| 30 | http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html for more information. |
