PyCA cryptography 37.0.0 released
by Paul Kehrer April 26, 2022

April 26, 2022

PyCA cryptography 37.0.0 has been released to PyPI. cryptography includes both high level recipes and low level interfaces to common cryptographic algorithms such as symmetric ciphers, asymmetric algorithms, message digests, X509, key derivation functions, and much more. We support Python 3.6+, and PyPy3. Changelog (https://cryptography.io/en/latest/changelog/#v37-0-0): * Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.0.2. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for … [View More]LibreSSL 2.9.x and 3.0.x. The new minimum LibreSSL version is 3.1+. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Removed signer and verifier methods from the public key and private key classes. These methods were originally deprecated in version 2.0, but had an extended deprecation timeline due to usage. Any remaining users should transition to sign and verify. * Deprecated OpenSSL 1.1.0 support. OpenSSL 1.1.0 is no longer supported by the OpenSSL project. The next release of cryptography will be the last to support compiling with OpenSSL 1.1.0. * Deprecated Python 3.6 support. Python 3.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team. Support for Python 3.6 will be removed in a future cryptography release. * Deprecated the current minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) of 1.41.0. In the next release we will raise MSRV to 1.48.0. Users with the latest pip will typically get a wheel and not need Rust installed, but check Installation for documentation on installing a newer rustc if required. * Deprecated CAST5, SEED, IDEA, and Blowfish because they are legacy algorithms with extremely low usage. These will be removed in a future version of cryptography. * Added limited support for distinguished names containing a bit string. * We now ship universal2 wheels on macOS, which contain both arm64 and x86_64 architectures. Users on macOS should upgrade to the latest pip to ensure they can use this wheel, although we will continue to ship x86_64 specific wheels for now to ease the transition. * This will be the final release for which we ship manylinux2010 wheels. Going forward the minimum supported manylinux ABI for our wheels will be manylinux2014. The vast majority of users will continue to receive manylinux wheels provided they have an up to date pip. For PyPy wheels this release already requires manylinux2014 for compatibility with binaries distributed by upstream. * Added support for multiple OCSPSingleResponse in a OCSPResponse. * Restored support for signing certificates and other structures in X.509 with SHA3 hash algorithms. * TripleDES is disabled in FIPS mode. * Added support for serialization of PKCS#12 CA friendly names/aliases in serialize_key_and_certificates() * Added support for 12-15 byte (96 to 120 bit) nonces to AESOCB3. This class previously supported only 12 byte (96 bit). * Added support for AESSIV when using OpenSSL 3.0.0+. * Added support for serializing PKCS7 structures from a list of certificates with serialize_certificates. * Added support for parsing RFC 4514 strings with from_rfc4514_string(). * Added AUTO to PSS. This can be used to verify a signature where the salt length is not already known. * Added DIGEST_LENGTH to PSS. This constant will set the salt length to the same length as the PSS hash algorithm. * Added support for loading RSA-PSS key types with load_pem_private_key() and load_der_private_key(). This functionality is limited to OpenSSL 1.1.1e+ and loads the key as a normal RSA private key, discarding the PSS constraint information. -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk) [View Less]

ANN: eGenix Antispam Bot for Telegram 0.3.0
by eGenix Team April 25, 2022

April 25, 2022

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix Antispam Bot for Telegram Version 0.3.0 A simple, yet effective bot implementation to address Telegram signup spam. This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: https://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-Antispam-Bot-for-Telegram-0.3.0-… … [View More]________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION eGenix has long been running a local user group meeting in Düsseldorf called Python Meeting Düsseldorf and we are using a Telegram group for most of our communication. In the early days, the group worked well and we only had few spammers joining it, which we could well handle manually. More recently, this has changed dramatically. We are seeing between 2-5 spam signups per day, often at night. Furthermore, the signups accounts are not always easy to spot as spammers, since they often come with profile images, descriptions, etc. With the bot, we now have a more flexible way of dealing with the problem. Please see our project page for details and download links: https://www.egenix.com/library/telegram-antispam-bot/ ________________________________________________________________________ FEATURES * Low impact mode of operation: the bot tries to keep noise in the group to a minimum * Several challenge mechanisms to choose from, more can be added as needed * Flexible and easy to use configuration * Only needs a few MB of RAM, so can easily be put into a container or run on a Raspberry Pi * Can handle quite a bit of load due to the async implementation * Works with Python 3.9+ * MIT open source licensed ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS The 0.3.0 release fixes a few bugs and adds more features: * Added new challenge ListItemChallenge * Added new config variables MAX_FAILED_CHALLENGES to limit the number of failed challenge responses. Defaults to 3. * Added docker-compose config example to sources * Fixed display of the user name to always show the full name, where available. * Added work-around for pyrogram to not create session files inside the package dir when running the bot in -m mode * Fixed bug to make file logging work * Fixed bug in ban time handling; this now works correctly It has been battle-tested in production for more than two months already and is proving to be a really useful tool to help with Telegram group administration. _______________________________________________________________________ INFORMATION About eGenix (http://www.egenix.com/): eGenix is a database focused software project, consulting and product company delivering expert services and professional quality products for companies, Python users and developers.
