pyDes: 2.0.0 released (SourceForge)

[Posted March 17, 2009 by cook]

Version 2.0.0 of pyDes has been announced. "A pure python module which implements the DES and Triple-DES encryption algorithms. Triple DES is either DES-EDE3 with a 24 byte key, or DES-EDE2 with a 16 byte key. This release updates the pyDes module to be compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3 interpreters."

There is no warning on the website. People must not forget DES is completely broken and should NOT be used at all anymore. It should only be used for compatibility reasons if absolutely needed.

Use AES instead.
