No. And for good reason. Building a cryptography library is an extremely  
dificult proposition. Even after you've completed the build, you still  
face a trust problem. You need to convince people that your library is not  
subject to a myriad of side-channel attacks. The only way to do that is to  
battle-test is, which requires that people use it in the first place. The  
philosophy of the D community is to binding to more trusted and tested  
libraries.

I currently am working on one such binding to the Botan library called  
Titanium.

https://github.com/ellipticbit/titanium
https://github.com/randombit/botan/

Botan isn't as battle-tested as OpenSSL or Crypto++ but it was designed  
 from the ground up to mitigate or prevent the kind of problems that  
OpenSSL is currently experiencing, and was implemented by someone who has  
done multiple Cryptographic Module Verifications for NIST. I personally  
went with Botan because it's relatively easy to create bindings for the  
languages I use and API is relatively sane for a crypto library (I'm  
looking at you OpenSSL).
