I think "std.crypto" is a better name for the package. At first I 
thought it contained an implementation of a Hash table.

Also note these entries in wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

Your package provides the later, not just any hash functions, but 
*crypto*graphic hash functions. :-)

(and yes, I know I'm just discussing the name here, but names *are* 
important)
