Stepken: I think that this is a good idea, but....

Pharo developers are few and limited. They are trying to do all of their
best on Pharo. We know this an important package but perhaps they have more
important things to do. Pharo is not even in a beta of first milestone. This
can be planned in a future milestone.

Porting the actual cryptography package to Pharo perhaps is much easier than
wrap an entire library.

Any code is welcome :)

As I said in the other thread about this, I think this is a perfect project
for ESUG SummerTalk. It has the Pharo philosofy. I mean, if Pharo want to be
an opensource smalltalk to create real enterprise applications, then
cryptography package is needed.

Cheers,

Mariano
