Beschreibung

There are several modules in the rats/ folder by @kevthehermit that are using a crypto library called pycrypto, mostly for AES and DES support. Unfortunately, this library hasn't been updated since 2014 and also has a vulnerable ElGamal implementation: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-6594

We should update these modules to make use of cryptography instead and drop pycrypto all together from our dependencies.
