| 18 | ``cryptography`` aims to support multiple backends to ensure it can provide |
| 19 | the widest number of supported cryptographic algorithms as well as supporting |
| 20 | platform specific implementations. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | You can get the default backend by calling |
| 23 | :func:`~default_backend`. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | The default backend will change over time as we implement new backends and |
| 26 | the libraries we use in those backends changes. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | |
| 29 | .. function:: default_backend() |
| 30 | |
| 31 | :returns: An object that provides at least |
| 32 | :class:`~interfaces.CipherBackend`, :class:`~interfaces.HashBackend`, and |
| 33 | :class:`~interfaces.HMACBackend`. |
