+     "This package provides R bindings to OpenSSL libssl and libcrypto, plus
+custom SSH pubkey parsers.  It supports RSA, DSA and NIST curves P-256, P-384
+and P-521.  Cryptographic signatures can either be created and verified
+manually or via x509 certificates.  AES block cipher is used in CBC mode for
+symmetric encryption; RSA for asymmetric (public key) encryption.  High-level
+envelope functions combine RSA and AES for encrypting arbitrary sized data.
+Other utilities include key generators, hash functions (md5, sha1, sha256,
+etc), base64 encoder, a secure random number generator, and @code{bignum} math
+methods for manually performing crypto calculations on large multibyte
+integers.")
