* Package name    : securestring
  Version         : 0.2
  Upstream Author : András Veres-Szentkirályi, Lawrence Fan
* URL             : https://pypi.org/project/SecureString/,

  Description     : Clearing the contents of strings containing cryptographic material

  Python wrapper around OPENSSL_cleanse() which fills a pointer with a string
  of 0's, typically used to clear the contents of strings containing
  cryptographic material.

I am maintaining this package as part of the Python team, I am working
in https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/securestring .

I plan to package "pwdsphinx" too ( https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pwdsphinx ,
https://github.com/stef/pwdsphinx , ITP will follow); pwdsphinx will depend
upon python3-securestring.  See also Bug#1022862: ITP: libsphinx and
Bug#1021433: ITP: libequihash.

The SPHINX project was funded through the NGI0 PET Fund, a fund established by
NLnet with financial support from the European Commission's Next Generation
Internet programme, under the aegis of DG Communications Networks, Content and
Technology under grant agreement No 825310.

Bye,

Joost
