[Ach] [cryptography] Better Crypto

[Axel Hübl]

I could not agree more.

Crazy C get's totally against the scope of this document: providing
_relyable_ crypto.

If someone reads that document and goes for "see, they still list it as
compatible, provide it!" the document lost it's main point.

Cheers,
Axel

Bravo B is still considered secure as to our best of knowledge today™ which still supports a wide array of deployed software without unsafe compromises on the security aspect.
