krypt API

One of the goals of krypt is to implement as much functionality as possible in Ruby. Almost any cryptographic protocol or data structure can be decomposed into a series of "primitives", for example an X.509 certificate is a composition of the "primitives" ASN.1, cryptographic hash, and asymmetric cryptography. While these primitives are the subject of the lower-level krypt-core API, the krypt API will use them to implement these composites in plain Ruby.
