The patch contains the following changes:
- Private RSA keys can be imported/exported in encrypted form,
protected according to PKCS#8 and:
* PBKDF2WithHMAC-SHA1AndDES-EDE3-CBC.
* PBKDF2WithHMAC-SHA1AndAES128-CBC
* PBKDF2WithHMAC-SHA1AndAES192-CBC
* PBKDF2WithHMAC-SHA1AndAES256-CBC
In addition to that, it is possible to import keys i the
following weak formats:
* pbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC
* pbeWithSHA1AndRC2-CBC
* pbeWithMD5AndRC2-CBC
* pbeWithSHA1AndDES-CBC
- The following new module (and 1 new package) are added:
* Crypto.Util.Padding for simple padding/unpadding logic
* Crypto.IO._PBES for PBE-related PKCS#5 logic
* Crypto.IO.PEM for PEM wrapping/unwrapping
* Crypto.IO.PKCS8 for PKCS#8 wrapping/unwrapping
- All Object ID (OIDs) are now in dotted form to increase
readability.
- Add AES support to PEM format (decode only).
The PEM module can decrypt messages protected with AES-CBC.
- Update RSA import test cases.
- Updated to PKCS8 test cases
In an attempt to simplify the copyright status of PyCrypto, I'm placing my
code into the public domain, and encouraging other contributors to do the
same.
I have used a public domain dedication that was recommended in a book on FOSS legal
issues[1], followed by the warranty disclaimer boilerplate from the MIT license.

This will avoid the previous situation where scripts like the old "test.py"
get included accidentally in a release. It also frees us to put additional
build scripts in the top-level directory of the source tree.
