Replacement for pycrypto

[ahiemstra]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm investigating if I can use KIVY / MIVYMD / KIVY-IOS to create platform independent apps with Python. I installed ivy-ios, and noticed that pycrypto v2.6 is included in the toolchain. However, this module is not being supported since Python 3.3.

Describe the solution you'd like
The replacement for pycrypto is pycryptodome. So that would be an obvious replacement. Or any other encryption module that is supported with Python 3.10+.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively I could create a recipe for pycryptodome myself, but I think I miss the knowledge to do so.

Additional context
I think including a depreciated module like pycrypto is not a good thing. So it might be time to replace it anyways.

Regards, Arjen.

Hi @ahiemstra ,

Unless something changed recently on pycryptodome side, see: #701 (comment)

(Everything is possible, but you'll likely required to do a lot of patching).

What I can suggest (and I do the same on my side), if speed is not an issue, is to implement the algorithm you need in plain-python.
