  Description     : Perl module implementing cryptography functions in pure Perl

Just as it sounds: cryptography with no non-core XS dependencies! This is
useful if you don't have access to other tools that do this work like
OpenSSL|http://openssl.org, CryptX, etc. Of course, if you do have access to
one of those tools, they may suit your purpose better.

See submodules for usage examples of:

 * Key generation
 * Key parsing
 * Signing & verification
 * Encryption & decryption
 * Import (Crypt::Perl::PK) from & export to JSON Web Key format
 * JWK thumbprints
 * Certificate Signing Request (PKCS #10) generation (Crypt::Perl::PKCS10)
 * SSL/TLS certificate (X.509) generation (Crypt::Perl::X509v3), including a
   broad variety of extensions

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
