Description: Bindings to OpenSSL libssl and libcrypto, plus custom SSH
        key parsers. Supports RSA, DSA and EC curves P-256, P-384,
        P-521, and curve25519. Cryptographic signatures can either be
        created and verified manually or via x509 certificates. AES can
        be used in cbc, ctr or gcm mode for symmetric encryption; RSA
        for asymmetric (public key) encryption or EC for Diffie
        Hellman. High-level envelope functions combine RSA and AES for
        encrypting arbitrary sized data. Other utilities include key
        generators, hash functions (md5, sha1, sha256, etc), base64
        encoder, a secure random number generator, and 'bignum' math
        methods for manually performing crypto calculations on large
        multibyte integers.
