Update of /cvsroot/pkgsrc/security/py-SSLCrypto
In directory ivanova.netbsd.org:/tmp/cvs-serv19042

Log Message:
Initial import of py-SSLCrypto-0.1.1 into the Packages Collection.

	SSLCrypto is a package for Python that dramatically eases the task of
	adding encryption to Python programs.

	It provides a unified API that is almost totally compatible with that
	of ezPyCrypto, except that it takes advantage of the OpenSSL Crypto
	Library to deliver massive improvements in speed and security.

	After using ezPyCrypto myself, I found that while it performed ok with
	smaller public key sizes, it proved impossibly slow with larger keys.
	This slowness, resulting from non-optimal code in its backend (the
	Python Cryptography Toolkit) meant that on a 1.5 GHz Athlon XP, it was
	taking several minutes to generate 4096-bit keys.  Completely
	unacceptable if you need real security.

	Performance is absolutely critical for an encryption API.  If slowness
	deters people from using adequate-sized keys, security will be
	severely compromised, almost to the extent that there's little point
	in using encryption in the first place.
