Hello all,

So I've been making a lot of progress in porting my tooling over to
Racket, and it's been a blast.  Horray!  However, I do a lot of work on
stuff that involves using quite a bit of cryptography, and it doesn't
seem that there's a general purpose cryptography library available for
Racket.  Am I right in that?  Particularly, I need to use asymmetric
(public key) cryptography tooling for encryption/signatures and also
HMAC signatures.

I'm guessing I probably need to write one.  My thoughts are that I
should probably use the Racket FFI library and use openssl (maybe
gnutls?) but I'm not really sure.  I haven't touched the FFI yet...

However, it does look like Racket already ships with some of the right
bits.  racket/collects/openssl/ contains a swath of relevant openssl
tooling, just apparently not all the bits for general public key
cryptography and etc.

I'm happy to dive into hacking... the purpose of this email is mostly to
check if work has already been done here other than what I found above
and what I should coordinate with :)

Thanks!
 - Christopher Lemmer Webber
