:py:mod:`crypto` --- Generic cryptographic module
=================================================
.. py:module:: OpenSSL.crypto
:synopsis: Generic cryptographic module
.. danger::
**This module is pending deprecation, use pyca/cryptography instead.**
`pyca/cryptography`_ is likely a better choice than using this module.
It contains a complete set of cryptographic primitives as well as a significantly better and more powerful X509 API.
If necessary you can convert to and from cryptography objects using the ``to_cryptography`` and ``from_cryptography`` methods on ``X509``, ``X509Req``, ``CRL``, and ``PKey``.
Elliptic curves

.. autofunction:: get_elliptic_curves
.. autofunction:: get_elliptic_curve
Serialization and deserialization
---------------------------------
The following serialization functions take one of these constants to determine the format.
.. py:data:: FILETYPE_PEM
:data:`FILETYPE_PEM` serializes data to a Base64-encoded encoded representation of the underlying ASN.1 data structure. This representation includes delimiters that define what data structure is contained within the Base64-encoded block: for example, for a certificate, the delimiters are ``-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----`` and ``-----END CERTIFICATE-----``.
.. py:data:: FILETYPE_ASN1
:data:`FILETYPE_ASN1` serializes data to the underlying ASN.1 data structure. The format used by :data:`FILETYPE_ASN1` is also sometimes referred to as DER.

Exceptions
----------
.. py:exception:: Error
Generic exception used in the :py:mod:`.crypto` module.
Digest names
------------
Several of the functions and methods in this module take a digest name.
These must be strings describing a digest algorithm supported by OpenSSL (by ``EVP_get_digestbyname``, specifically).
For example, :const:`b"sha256"` or :const:`b"sha384"`.
More information and a list of these digest names can be found in the ``EVP_DigestInit(3)`` man page of your OpenSSL installation.
This page can be found online for the latest version of OpenSSL:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/EVP_DigestInit.html
