[issue8998] add crypto routines to stdlib

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

Jean-Paul Calderone <invalid at example.invalid> added the comment:

What it will bring: APIs which aren't absolutely insane; full SSL support; RSA, DSA, ECDSA, Diffie-Hellman, EC Diffie-Hellman, AES, Triple DES, DES, RC2, RC4, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, MD2, MD5, HMAC: Common cryptographic algorithms used in public-key and symmetric-key cryptography; simplified FIPS 140 validation; better licensing (MPL).

I'm interested in stuff based on nss, but I definitely won't promise to do the work.  Fortunately dmalcolm seems to be on top of that. :)
