Are there any crypto libraries floating around?

I found this thread mentioning some initial work on a crypto 
library:

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/j84us9$2m5k$1@digitalmars.com?page=1

It looks like "std.digest" is what came of that though, not 
"std.crypto".

I found this on the wish list:

     Encryption and hashing

     This is more an implementation problem than a design problem.
     No one is working on it. Some work has been done here but 
it's unfinished.
     One of the ideas is to wrap OpenSSL? at first and then 
implement the most
     useful crypto primitives in D to avoid library dependency and 
to make them
     usable with CTFE.

I'm not sure what "some work has been done here" means, but after 
looking around, I assume this refers to hashingDoes this just 
mean that hashing functions have been implemented, but not crypto?

What I'm looking for is:

* SSH library for an ssh client
* TLS library for HTTPS

Has anyone started working on this? Are there any openssh 
wrappers lying around somewhere? I may have a crack at it myself 
it noone has started on it.
