See LICENCE for the license information.

`M2Crypto.Rand.` `rand_seed`(seed)

  Equivalent to rand_add() when len(seed) == entropy.

  Parameters: | seed – added data (see description at rand_add)

`M2Crypto.Rand.` `rand_add`(blob, entropy)

  Mixes blob into the PRNG state.

  Parameters: | blob – added data entropy – (the lower bound of) an estimate of how much randomness is contained in blob, measured in bytes.

  Thus, if the data at buf are unpredictable to an adversary, this increases the uncertainty about the state and makes the PRNG output less predictable. Suitable input comes from user interaction (random key presses, mouse movements) and certain hardware events.

  Details about sources of randomness and how to estimate their entropy can be found in the literature, e.g. RFC 1750.

`M2Crypto.Rand.` `load_file`(filename, max_bytes)

  Read a number of bytes from file filename and adds them to the PRNG.

  If max_bytes is non-negative, up to to max_bytes are read; starting with OpenSSL 0.9.5, if max_bytes is -1, the complete file is read.

  Parameters: | filename – max_bytes –
  Returns: | the number of bytes read.

`M2Crypto.Rand.` `save_file`(filename)

  Write a number of random bytes (currently 1024) to file.

  The file then can be used to initialize the PRNG by calling load_file() in a later session.

  Parameters: | filename –
  Returns: | returns the number of bytes written, and -1 if the bytes written were generated without appropriate seed.

`M2Crypto.Rand.` `rand_bytes`(num)

  Return n cryptographically strong pseudo-random bytes.

  An error occurs if the PRNG has not been seeded with enough randomness to ensure an unpredictable byte sequence.

  Parameters: | num – number of bytes to be returned
  Returns: | random bytes

`M2Crypto.Rand.` `rand_pseudo_bytes`(num)

  Return num pseudo-random bytes into buf.

  Pseudo-random byte sequences generated by this method will be unique if they are of sufficient length, but are not necessarily unpredictable. They can be used for non-cryptographic purposes and for certain purposes in cryptographic protocols, but usually not for key generation etc.

  Output of the function is mixed into the entropy pool before retrieving the new pseudo-random bytes unless disabled at compile time (see FAQ).

  Parameters: | num – number of bytes to be returned
  Returns: | random bytes

`M2Crypto.Rand.` `rand_file_name`()

  Generate a default path for the random seed file.

  Returns: | string with the filename. The seed file is $RANDFILE if that environment variable is set, $HOME/.rnd otherwise. If $HOME is not set either, an error occurs.

`M2Crypto.Rand.` `rand_status`()

  Check whether there is enough entropy in PRNG.

  Returns: | 1 if the PRNG has been seeded with enough data, 0 otherwise.

    Set callback which will be called when the store is verified. Wrapper over OpenSSL X509_STORE_set_verify_cb().

    Parameters: | callback – Callable to specify verification options. Type of the callable must be: (int, X509_Store_Context) -> int. If None: set the standard options.
    Note: | compile-time or run-time errors in the callback would result in mysterious errors during verification, which could be hard to trace.
    Note: | Python exceptions raised in callbacks do not propagate to verify() call.
    Returns: | None

## `callback` Module

## `ftpslib` Module

class `M2Crypto.ftpslib.` `FTP_TLS`(host=None, ssl_ctx=None)

  Bases: `ftplib.FTP`

  Python OO interface to client-side FTP/TLS.

  `auth_ssl`()

    Secure the control connection per AUTH SSL, aka AUTH TLS-P.

  `auth_tls`()

    Secure the control connection per AUTH TLS, aka AUTH TLS-C.

  `ntransfercmd`(cmd, rest=None)

    Initiate a data transfer.

  `prot_c`()

    Set up data connection in the clear.

  `prot_p`()

    Set up secure data connection.

## `httpslib` Module

class `M2Crypto.httpslib.` `HTTPSConnection`(host, port=None, strict=None, **ssl)

  Bases: `httplib.HTTPConnection`

  This class allows communication via SSL using M2Crypto.

  `close`()
  `connect`()
  `default_port` = 443
  `get_session`()
  `set_session`(session)

class `M2Crypto.httpslib.` `ProxyHTTPSConnection`(host, port=None, strict=None, username=None, password=None, **ssl)

  Bases: `M2Crypto.httpslib.HTTPSConnection`

  An HTTPS Connection that uses a proxy and the CONNECT request.

  When the connection is initiated, CONNECT is first sent to the proxy (along with authorization headers, if supplied). If successful, an SSL connection will be established over the socket through the proxy and to the target host.

  Finally, the actual request is sent over the SSL connection tunneling through the proxy.

  `connect`()
  `endheaders`(*args, **kwargs)
  `putheader`(header, value)
  `putrequest`(method, url, skip_host=0, skip_accept_encoding=0)

    putrequest is called before connect, so can interpret url and get real host/port to be used to make CONNECT request to proxy

    > - info(): return a mimetools.Message object for the headers
    > - geturl(): return the original request URL
    > - code: HTTP status code

  `https_request`(request)

`M2Crypto.m2urllib2.` `build_opener`(ssl_context=None, *handlers)

  Create an opener object from a list of handlers.
