I'd like to see both OpenSSL bindings and more crypto algorithms  
implemented in Factor. In the long term the latter would be preferable.

This is possible but its not well-documented yet. Try this in the tty:

Sure, there's still a lot of work to be done. It is mostly a question  
of manpower and time, and other people have different priorities.  
Perhaps you can contribute some of these libraries?
