-.. deprecated:: 3.4
-
- The VARBLOCK format is NOT recommended for general use, has been deprecated since
- Python-RSA 3.4, and will be removed in a future release. It's vulnerable to a
- number of attacks:
-
- 1. decrypt/encrypt_bigfile() does not implement `Authenticated encryption`_ nor
- uses MACs to verify messages before decrypting public key encrypted messages.
-
- 2. decrypt/encrypt_bigfile() does not use hybrid encryption (it uses plain RSA)
- and has no method for chaining, so block reordering is possible.
-
- See `issue #19 on Github`_ for more information.

-
-This module contains functions to:
-
- - break a file into smaller blocks, and encrypt them, and store the
- encrypted blocks in another file.
-
- - take such an encrypted files, decrypt its blocks, and reconstruct the
- original file.
-
-The encrypted file format is as follows, where || denotes byte concatenation:
-
- FILE := VERSION || BLOCK || BLOCK ...
-
- BLOCK := LENGTH || DATA
-
- LENGTH := varint-encoded length of the subsequent data. Varint comes from
- Google Protobuf, and encodes an integer into a variable number of bytes.
- Each byte uses the 7 lowest bits to encode the value. The highest bit set
- to 1 indicates the next byte is also part of the varint. The last byte will
- have this bit set to 0.
-
-This file format is called the VARBLOCK format, in line with the varint format
-used to denote the block sizes.
