It abstracts away some of the lower-level setup required by cryptography, making it easier to perform symmetric encryption without deep cryptographic expertise.\n\nThe package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.9 through 3.13, and carries no known vulnerabilities. It depends only on cryptography, keeping the dependency tree minimal. The BSD-2-Clause license permits use in both open-source and commercial projects.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need AES encryption with PKCS5 padding and prefer a simpler API than cryptography alone. The package is stable, actively maintained, carries no security vulnerabilities, and has low install friction. It is not worth installing if you already use cryptography directly or need more advanced cryptographic features beyond basic AES modes."},"id":"aes-pkcs5","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aes-pkcs5","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aes-pkcs5.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aes-pkcs5/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-04-26","license_spdx":"BSD-2-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aes-pkcs5","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Implementation of AES with CBC/ECB mode and padding scheme PKCS5"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":197444,"position":9759,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.4"}
