snap, there were a few good use-cases in the original mail, but I could 
produce many more.

what's needed (or what I can see people making use of ever increasingly) 
is two levels:

1: UA support for crypto functions, specifically 
openssl_open/seal/hash/verify and generating key pairs

2: the same exposed to javascript

:)

ps: I don't know what use I could be other than adopting immediately and 
testing very heavily.

Best,

Nathan
