[New-bugs-announce] [issue8998] add encryption/decryption/signature/verification routines to stdlib

[geremy condra]

New submission from geremy condra <debatem1 at gmail.com>:

Python's hashlib and ssl modules currently leverage OpenSSL to provide developers with access to cryptographic hash and TLS routines, but encryption/decryption and signature/verification support are still missing. I propose the addition of an easy-to-use crypto module modeled after Evpy[0] to remedy this.
