"""
This module handles all the cryptography involved with garbled circuits.
The external module :mod:`cryptography` offers a Fernet encryption scheme
that suits well for classical garbled circuits as it shows if decryption was
successful or not. However, for the majority of optimizations decrypting
the zero ciphertext is necessary. Therefore, the encryption/decryption
scheme used is AES. While probably an unfit
choice for a secure application, AES suffices for simple applications.
If more security is needed, the recommendation is to change AES for
a stronger cryptographic encryption scheme such as AES256.
