| -Introduction & history
|
| -==================================================
|
| -
|
| -Python-RSA's history starts in 2006. As a student assignment for the
|
| -University of Amsterdam we wrote a RSA implementation. We chose Python
|
| -for various reasons; one of the most important reasons was the
|
| -`unlimited precision integer`_ support.
|
| -
|
| -.. _`unlimited precision integer`:
|
| - http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#numeric-types-int-float-long-complex
|
| -
|
| -It started out as just a module for calculating large primes, and RSA
|
| -encryption, decryption, signing and verification using those large
|
| -numbers. It also included generating public and private keys. There
|
| -was no functionality for working with byte sequences (such as files)
|
| -yet.
|
| -
|
| -Version 1.0 did include support for byte sequences, but quite clunky,
|
| -mostly because it didn't support 0-bytes and thus was unsuitable for
|
| -binary messages.
|
| -
|
| -Version 2.0 introduced a lot of improvements by Barry Mead, but still
|
| -wasn't compatible with other RSA implementations and used no random
|
| -padding.
|
| -
|
| -Version 3.0 introduced PKCS#1 v1.5 functionality, which resulted in
|
| -compatibility with OpenSSL and many others implementing the same
|
| -standard. Random padding was introduced that considerably increased
|
| -security, which also resulted in the ability to encrypt and decrypt
|
| -binary messages.
|
| -
|
| -Key generation was also improved in version 3.0, ensuring that you
|
| -really get the number of bits you asked for. At the same time key
|
| -generation speed was greatly improved. The ability to save and load
|
| -public and private keys in PEM and DER format as also added.
