salty axolotl implements the Axolotl ratched based on primitives found in DJBs

NaCL-derivate libsodium.

dependencies: SecureString, pysodium

example:

    # create 2 peers with long-term keys

    peer1 = Peer('peer1')

    peer2 = Peer('peer2')

    # create an axolotl context with the other peer

    ctx1 = AxolotlCTX(peer1)

    ctx2 = AxolotlCTX(peer2)

    # aspeer() extracts the public parameters to be given to the other peer

    # pairs up the context and sets up initial keys

    ctx1.init(ctx2.aspeer())

    ctx2.init(ctx1.aspeer())

    # sending/encrypt

    msg = ctx1.send("howdy")

    # does it look like plaintext?

    print repr(msg)

    # receiving/decrypt

    print peer1.name, 'sent', ctx2.recv(msg)
