Cryptography support

Support for cryptography would be nice so we can work with higher level encryption methods that are easier to use and secure unlike Crypto which is only low level. Also this gives us the ability to use PyOpenSSL for working with certificates.

Also with cryptography it compiles with the current OpenSSL source that you provide

The new version of paramiko uses it http://www.paramiko.org

any idea if we can ever see this added? Maybe libs use it rather then pycrypto..... And its driving me nuts.. I don't like pycrypto's way of being low level.

Another reason for this is to allow more simplified ways to use oauth

Twisted also bases all of its cryptography on this, including Conch (the SSH client) and its built in TLS support (based on pyOpenSSL). I'd love to have this in my own Pythonista install :).

(PyCrypto, which is available on Pythonista, is inactive, unmaintained, and generally recognized among security professionals as less safe. It would really be nice for pythonista to upgrade.)
