+PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic
+primitives. It supports Python 2.6 or newer, all Python 3 versions and PyPy.
+PyCryptodome is a fork of PyCrypto.
+
+PyCryptodome is not a wrapper to a separate C library like OpenSSL. To the
+largest possible extent, algorithms are implemented in pure Python. Only the
+pieces that are extremely critical to performance (e.g. block ciphers) are
+implemented as C extensions.
