Well, we already had this discussion. Some applications might prefer
to only use a small subset of crypto algorithms while other
applications are in the need of a full-blown implementation of a
cryptographic protocol. Some applications might have difficulties
with C extension modules at all, etc.

This lead to thinking about drivers for hashes, PRNGs, crypto
algorithms and protocols. Remember?

Ciao, Michael.
